Donate to the GoodGiving Challenge and win some awesome prizes!

Blue Grass Community Foundation and Smiley Pete Publishing (Chevy Chaser, Southsider and Business Lexington Magazines) have just launched their GoodGiving Guide Challenge, and we’re excited to be a part of it. These two organizations have combined their efforts to promote 58 different nonprofits in our city and have set a goal of raising over $100,000 for nonprofits before the end of the year. They’ve also lined up several challenge grants to award bonus money to the nonprofits who raise the most donors and dollars.

You can help us win those challenges by giving right now! Just fill in the form bellow and your set. The Lucille Little Foundation will match, dollar for dollar every donation given to the Living Arts and Science Center. Also, LexArts will be matching the first ten $50 or more donations up to $500. This in essence triples every donation to the LASC!

In addition to the challenges for nonprofits, Smiley Pete has lined up a ton of thank you gifts to individuals who give at different levels.

Give now to receive some of these fabulous gifts donated from the GoodGiving Guide Challenge’s sponsors.

If you’re planning on including us in your charitable giving plans this year, please consider making your donation today.

If you don’t feel you can donate at this point, will you consider sharing it on facebook or through email with the share features at the bottom of the form below? Many of the prizes are based on number of donors, and we’d appreciate the introduction to your friends and family.

Joseph-Beth Booksellers Rewards the Living Arts & Science Center
The Living Arts & Science Center is honored to have been selected by Joseph-Beth Booksellers as one of five community non-profit organizations to benefit from Joseph-Beth’s Gives Back Preferred Customer Program in which a percentage of members purchases will be donated back to the community partner. In the past year the LASC has received over $2000 from this program.

PLEASE read the details below to see how you can join the Preferred Customer program, earn great discounts and perks for yourself, PLUS generate contributions for the Living Arts & Science Center.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
At Joseph-Beth, or by visiting their site found here, purchase a $25.00 Membership card (keep reading – you will get the $25 back!) and select the Living Arts & Science Center as your community partner.
The Membership Card will provide you with a year’s worth of the following benefits:

Please take advantage of this great opportunity to support the Living Arts & Science Center through your regular shopping and purchasing that you do through Joseph-Beth. Encourage your friends, colleagues and family members to purchase a card and select the Living Arts & Science Center as their community partner. This will only be successful for the Living Arts & Science Center if we are able to encourage lots of people to sign-up and to select us as the beneficiary group.

As a Donor to the LASC, you help us launch new, important, groundbreaking programs, support innovative educational endeavors, and sustain this extraordinary learning facility.

Many companies match employees’ contributions to charity. Please check with your human resources department to find out if your company has such a program and if so, please include the appropriate matching gift form with your donation.

There are many ways to honor and remember the events of your life and the lives of those dear to you. Through an Honorary or Memorial Gift, you can ensure a special remembrance while helping us to continue to make creative and unique opportunities in the arts and sciences accessible to all.

The LASC welcomes partnerships with corporations to present its exciting programs to local audiences.

When funding the LASC, you support science and art education while investing in the future of the Central Kentucky community as a whole. The LASC will work with you to develop a plan that meets your objectives and budget.

Become an annual Corporate Donor and join this vital community of donors, who through their corporate contributions help sustain the LASC’s mission to “provide creative and unique opportunities for exploration and education in the arts and sciences”.

In addition to making outright gifts of cash or securities that benefit the LASC today, supporters can respond to the need to help secure the financial future of the LASC by making a planned gift. There are many ways that you can help the LASC and accomplish your philanthropic and financial goals. Please consider any of the methods below.

• Make a bequest: Instruct your attorney to include a charitable bequest for the LASC in your will or living trust.

• Donate life insurance policy proceeds: Perhaps you find that a life insurance policy once necessary for your family’s security is no longer needed because your children are now independent and other assets are providing adequate income and resources for their future. You can name the LASC as the future beneficiary of the policy.

• Create a charitable remainder trust: Name the LASC as the recipient of an irrevocable trust that can provide income for you or a named beneficiary for a fixed period of years (often for the lifetime of the individual). At the end of the term of the trust, the remaining trust assets are distributed to the LASC. Cash, stock, or real estate can be used to fund the trust. Trusts are highly flexible gift-planning tools that have enabled donors to accomplish a variety of important personal financial goals and ultimately provide an important gift to charity.
