Individual Giving
 
The national giving average of individual donations to 501c(3) organizations is 75%. Individual gifts to the Lighthouse currently account for less than 2% of the Lighthouse' funding.
 
The Lighthouse has established to new giving programs, the 1949 Club and a re-vamped Luminary Society. It's easy to join one of these two groups, and there are benefits as well! Click here for more information on the programs.

Whether through a one-time gift or a monthly contribution, your donation will create a stable source of funding that will enable the Lighthouse to continue providing services to low income Georgians for generations to come. Support your Lighthouse by donating today!

 
 
 
White Cane

White Cane is a Lions-run fundraiser that supports the Lighthouse's eye surgery program. April is officially White Cane month, but White Cane activities occur throughout the year. Keep an eye out for Lions in your community doing their White Cane fundraiser.  For more information on the campaign, please see our White Cane page.
 

 

Workplace Giving

As most federal and state agencies are kicking up their efforts surrounding employee charitable campaigns, now is the perfect time to remember that the Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation is in need of your support!  The CFC and SCCP programs can be set up through simple payroll deductions as a one-time gift or as a monthly deduction for the organization of your choice. 

Consider setting up a charitable contribution through your agency’s program today!  Here are some details to get you started:

  • The federal program, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the world's largest annual workplace charity campaign, helping to raise millions of dollars every year.  If you are a federal employee, contact your local CFC office and tell them to sign you up for organization 52771! More information, including a CFC office locator, is available here: http://www.opm.gov/cfc/
  • The state program, the State Charitable Contributions Program (SCCP)! SCCP is an employee benefit for State and University system employees to contribute to charities of their choice through payroll deductions or a one-time donation. The campaign will run during the month of November, and our code for this campaign is 112000.  For more information about the program, visit: http://www.spa.ga.gov/employees/sccp_main/index.asp
