Why Invest in Excellence

  • As you can see from the graph below, not every student is funded equally which means LNC must do more with less. Extra items beyond the text books and teachers will only happen with our parents’ partnership. We need every LNC family to participate in our 2017-18 Invest in Excellence Campaign so we can provide these extras for our students. These extras – a state-of-the-art “Learning Commons,” a HS Student Union and math enrichment – are what set LNC apart.

Invest in Excellence

  • We ask our families to thoughtfully and carefully consider what their child’s LNC education is worth. Is your student’s education worth $50 per month, $600 per year, less than $2 a day?

    Remember, unlike many schools, LNC does not ask you to buy (and sell!) coupon books, oranges, wrapping paper, cookie dough and the like! We believe using 100% of your donation for our student’s educational experience, not padding a middleman’s pocket, makes the most sense.

  • EVERY SINGLE GIFT MATTERS!

    If all 1,188 LNC families pull together, there is no telling to what heights we can elevate our school! Please make supporting your student’s school one of your TOP 3 CHARITABLE PRIORITIES and give at a level equal to the value you place on your student’s LNC education. 


    LNC is a 501(c)3 and therefore any donation that you make is tax-deductible. If you have any questions regarding making a donation, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Sara Lay at slay@lncharter.org.
