Ways to Give

There are so many ways to support our schools! Whether you’re shopping for groceries, planning for the future, or giving through your workplace, you can help students thrive.

Donate Now

Make an immediate impact by giving a one-time gift or setting up a recurring monthly donation. Every contribution—big or small—helps fuel opportunities for students and support educators across Littleton Public Schools. 

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)

If you have a donor-advised fund, you can recommend a gift directly to the LPS Foundation. DAF giving is a simple and tax-efficient way to support students today while aligning with your long-term philanthropic goals.

Here’s how to give from your DAF:

Use your fund’s online portal and search for “Littleton Public Schools Foundation” or provide this info to your advisor:

  • Tax ID: 84-1185005
  • Mailing Address: 5776 S. Crocker Street, Littleton, CO 80120
  • Contact: Stefanie Carroll, Executive Director
  • Email: scarroll@lps.k12.co.us   Phone: 303-347-3478

Employer Match Programs

Many companies will match their employees’ charitable contributions—sometimes doubling or tripling your gift. Use the employer match finder below or check with your employer to see if your donation can go even further. In addition to matching your gift, use this search tool to see if your employer offers paid volunteer opportunities, payroll giving options, event sponsorships, and community grants to support the non-profit of your choice - like the Littleton Public Schools Foundation!

Legacy Giving

Create a lasting legacy by including the LPS Foundation in your will, trust, or estate plans. Planned gifts ensure your commitment to education lives on for generations to come. Contact Stefanie Carroll, Executive Director at 303-347-3478 or scarroll@lps.k12.co.us for more information about leaving a legacy for LPS students.

Stock & Securities Gifts

Maximize your impact and potential tax benefits by donating appreciated stocks or securities. This method allows you to avoid capital gains tax while making a powerful investment in student success. Work with your financial advisor to learn more. 

IRA Charitable Distributions

If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to the LPS Foundation. These Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) can count toward your required minimum distribution and reduce your taxable income—all while helping LPS students thrive. Talk with your financial advisor to see how a QCD gift can be part of your giving and retirement strategy.
