Your contribution can help fund:

• Emergency assistance for students in crisis ($246 average need)
• Books and supplies for a full term ($430)
• GED testing fees ($38 per subject)
• Course fees for a 3-credit class ($487)
• Specialized program expenses like nursing testing fees ($600) or automotive technology tools ($4,350)

By committing to a monthly contribution, these dedicated supporters create a reliable foundation of funding that helps the LBCC Foundation plan effectively for the future.

The Power of Monthly Giving

As a Monthly Sustainer, your consistent support:

• Provides steady, reliable funding that LBCC can count on year-round
• Allows you to make a significant impact by spreading your giving throughout the year
• Helps support immediate needs for students facing unexpected financial challenges
• Reduces administrative costs, directing more of your gift toward student success
• Automatically renews each month, making it convenient and hassle-free
  
  

How It Works

Becoming a Monthly Sustainer is simple. Choose a monthly gift amount that works for your budget—whether it's $10, $25, $50, or more—and your contribution will be automatically processed each month. You can adjust or pause your giving at any time.

Many Monthly Sustainers find that spreading their support throughout the year makes it easier to make a meaningful impact. For example, a $25 monthly gift adds up to $300 annually, providing critical support for books, supplies, or emergency assistance for students.
