Why Give to LNC?
-


Thanks to our parent partnership, these amenities will be waiting for our students when they return to school in August!
Why Do We Ask for Parent Partnership?
- LNC students receive less funding than traditional public school students, i.e., for every $1.00 a CMS student receives, an LNC student receives ONLY 82 cents

- LNC receives NO funding for schools, roads, parking lots, fields, courts & playgrounds
- Instead of asking students to sell gift wrap or oranges, with a percentage of the proceeds going to a "middleman," we ask parents to support us directly, resulting in 100% of your donation immediately improving your students' experience!

Look at what our parent partnership has accomplished since 2015!

**LNC is a 501(c)3 organization and your contributions may be tax deductible. Please consult your financial or tax advisor.
