The LLCC Foundation is accepting applications for LEAGUE grants through Jan. 31. Faculty and staff make these grants possible through their generous giving to the annual faculty and staff campaign each spring known as LEAGUE.

The LLCC Foundation will award approximately $10,000 as a direct result of the success of the annual faculty and staff campaign. Grant guidelines, application and budget worksheet are available here, or may be obtained at:  www.llccfoundation.org/educational-support.

You can make your donation to the LEAGUE Campaign now or at the kickoff–2017 Enrollment Form.  LEAGUE is the annual giving campaign for LLCC faculty and staff to make charitable donations for grants, programs, scholarships and other important needs.  The campaign always features a lot of fun, but the dollars raised are for a serious purpose – to support our students.  So on their behalf thank you!

Stop by the Foundation today, level one, Menard Hall, and join the LEAGUE!

Thanks to generous donations to the Foundation’s LEAGUE campaign, $10,000 was awarded last year for a variety of grants that are now “working” in programs at LLCC. View the list of benefactors: LEAGUE grant dollars 3-17

Attention faculty and staff!  There is still time to enter the Decorate Your Office Door Contest for LEAGUE. Grab your co-workers and join in the fun. The department or center with the most votes will be declared the winner and will win a jeans day in May. Decorating should be completed by noon on Monday, March 27. Read contest guidelines here: 2nd Door Decorating Announcement

LEAGUE is an acronym for Leaders Establishing Annual Gifts Underwriting Education and is the annual opportunity for LLCC faculty and staff to make charitable donations back to the college.  Funds raised go directly to support LLCC students through scholarships, grants and other Foundation funds.  No LEAGUE dollars are used for operating expenses for the LLCC Foundation.

Nearly half of all LLCC faculty and staff donate to the LLCC Foundation. Besides the great work you do every day, LLCC faculty and staff truly support their own.  Join us for the kickoff celebration of this year’s LEAGUE campaign on Professional Development Day, Tuesday, March 28 at 11:30 am in the Student Union.

Why give?

Most people say a personal connection is the main reason for charitable giving and because they feel it’s the right thing to do.  And what better investment than our students?  You’re truly making their lives better with the gift of education.
