Financial Support

Individual donations are vital in keeping LSPC running - facilitating the numerous services we offer, and essentially giving us life. As grants most often only fund programs, our individual donors allow us the flexibility to serve the community at large. We send out hundreds, thousands of letters containing vital information, resources, and lifelines to prisoners, family members and supporters. Our dedicated staff must be able to survive, and individual donors help us to pay our staff. LSPC's very foundation is built upon the generosity of individual donors.

As we face a tumultuous election and a speculative time period, as well as a hesitant economy, it is hard for folks to reach into their pockets to support us. We understand. We too are feeling that crunch as an organization. As grants get increasingly tentative and difficult to depend on, our budget shrinks. We hope our donors can ride this through this with us, at a time when philanthropy is hardest, ensuring that we can maintain the high level of service our clients and their families have come to depend on. Last year we celebrated 25 years of service! We could not have done it without our donors stepping up at every turn! And we expect to still be needed in 25 more years, with our supporters right there beside us.

Especially now, social justice work is more needed than ever. It is precisely because times are tough that makes fiscal survival harder for everyone, including the community that we support. Donations to LSPC are more than just money changing hands, it's hand in hand collaboration and support.

Please give generously.
