LEDA receives no public funding; it is entirely privately funded. All gifts to LEDA are tax-
deductible to the extent allowed by law.

We welcome the interest and questions of those who are considering supporting LEDA. We
welcome gifts or grants of all sizes, and each donor should feel assured that a gift to LEDA
will be put to good use in providing able and motivated young people with access to a college
education commensurate with their potential.

We are grateful for the generous support of our donors.

How Can You Help?

Monetary donations can be designated to support a particular area of LEDA's activities.
Donations are accepted via check and now also via credit card at ClickandPledge.com.

In-Kind Donations such as office supplies; classroom space; and transportation vouchers
are extremely helpful in reducing our overhead costs.

Stock Gifts can be transferred to our portfolio where they will be sold at current market value.

Be a Mentor. Provide guidance, advice and support to young people and help them reach their
full potential.

Provide an Internship. LEDA Scholars are eligible to receive paid summer internships.
