Support LMS

All giving matters! Contributions to the LMS Fund* support improvements happening all over campus. The Food Forest that was developed in the fall of 2019 and continues to grow with every passing year is a great example of a project that this Fund helps to support.

*Previously referred to as the Projects Fund

Everyone in the school community; Board members, parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, as well as faculty and staff. We are proud to share that Board member participation has reached 100% every year, and that LMS Faculty and Staff also generously contribute to the LMS Fund each year. 

We hope you will join us in contributing at whatever level you are capable of giving. Last year, individual gifts to the LMS Fund ranged from $5 to $25,000. What you give is entirely up to you. Every gift is important and celebrated. 

Like almost all independent schools, tuition does not cover the full cost of ensuring that LMS is a place of excellence.

Your investment in the LMS Fund supports all areas of the school. The Food Forest is an exciting project made possible by this Fund. Other areas of the school that have recently benefited from the Fund can be seen in the Sport Court, new lockers in our Upper Elementary classrooms, and the large wooden structures used for outdoor learning in the Children’s House greenspace and on the upperfield. 

All gifts to the LMS Fund matter. High participation in the LMS Fund demonstrates that the school community is strong and believes in the mission and work of LMS. 

No. There is no correlation. 100% family participation is the goal.

Your gift will be acknowledged in the Gratitude Report, which is distributed each year and lists all donors to the school. You can make your gift anonymously, if you prefer, by directing the Community Development Office not to list your name.

Almost every independent school in the country has an Annual Giving Program. It is an important tool to enhance a child’s educational experience.

LMS is a 501(c)(3) organization. Many companies will match charitable contributions by their employees. The company helps to support worthy causes and the employee can maximize the amount donated to the charity. Many LMS parents work for companies that have a matching gifts program – please check with your human resources department to see if your employer will match your gift. The Development Office is happy to help you with this process in any way possible.
