Fund-A-Need

Fund-A-Need is an award winning online program at www.foundationforlps.org designed to help students and staff in Lincoln Public Schools. The program allows teachers and schools the avenue to post innovative educational ideas and classroom needs as a “proposal” for the community to view. The proposed educational experiences are outside of standard budgeting and would not be available for students without community financial support.

Proposals are approved by principals, submitted to the Foundation, and posted online. Donors may choose from the online list and make a tax-deductible donation to fund these classroom needs. Individuals who support a proposal will receive information about the activity from the teacher
and students touched by the gift, and a receipt from the Foundation as a record for the IRS.
