When you make a gift to Lamar, you join with other enlightened givers in showing your commitment to community vitality through history, education and the arts.  During our capital campaign, your gift will be doubled by challenge grants from the Jeffris Family Foundation and the Otto Bremer Foundation!

 A gift to Lamar offers you:

¨     public recognition as a visionary community leader  

¨     affirmation of your values through concrete financial support

¨     belonging in a community of givers who define their world through their combined generosity

¨     an expression of appreciation for the experiences you’ve had at Lamar and for the wonders you’ve received in your life

¨     assurance of the continuity of a historic treasure for future generations

You can make a lasting legacy by choosing a gift at the appropriate amount to secure a naming opportunity at Lamar.  There are a limited number of named gift opportunities available.  If you or someone you know would like to discuss a named gift, honorarium, or memorial, please contact Executive Director Kathleen Melin at (715)553-2116 or e-mail lamar.community@gmail.com. 

Gifts in any amount are welcome.  A gift in the form of a personal check payable to Lamar assures you that your gift goes entirely to Lamar without reductions for credit card or on-line fees.  To make giving easier, you can pledge a gift that will be paid monthly or quarterly for up to three years.  Lamar welcomes gifts of stock and other securities transferred to Lamar Community Center, Inc.  Also, by remembering Lamar in your will or trust, you create a legacy of helping others, expressing gratitude, and making a difference in addition to receiving the benefits of tax savings and retention of your benefits for life.  Corporation and Foundation giving is vital to Lamar.  If your company or foundation is interested in promoting community through education and the arts at our 1905 school, please contact us. You may also give on-line at www.lamarcommunity.org.
