Securities

A gift of stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares, if they have appreciated in value, may provide more tax benefits than cash.

Estate Gifts

Wills, bequests, life insurance policies, trusts, property and other planned gifts leave a legacy of care.

Annual Giving

Each year, thousands of people support LFS through annual giving, providing critical operating funds for our array of human services. LFS is committed to providing healing and wholeness to the Carolinas most vulnerable people. In many instances that means we subsidize care, particularly when we reach out to people who fall though the cracks of the traditional human services system.

Call us to set up an annual giving plan.

Matching Gifts

Many companies match employees’ gifts to charitable organizations. Your gift could be matched dollar for dollar. Many companies double or even triple a donation's value.

Check with your company to find out if your company will match your contribution to LFS Carolinas. If you have questions about your company's matching gift program, please contact your personnel office.

Tributes, Memorials and Honorariums

Your gift can be given in honor or memory of friends and loved ones. Each year, LFS receives many gifts honoring the lives, accomplishments, and memories of pastors, individuals, parents, children, and friends of the institution.

Donations to LFS in lieu of purchased gifts are lasting ways to honor friends and family on special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and holidays. Memorial donations can be a thoughtful and caring way to express sympathy while impacting the lives of individuals both now and in the future.

When you give a memorial or honorary gift, you will receive a tax-deduction receipt, and the honored person, the person’s family, or the individual you specify will be notified of your thoughtfulness.
