Guidance

Use the donation request form when seeking monetary support for a program, service, or community initiative. If your request is connected to an event, sponsorship recognition, or promotional opportunities, please use the Sponsorship Request form  instead.

Before beginning the form, have the following information ready:

  • Your organization’s contact information, website, and EIN, if applicable
  • A description of the program or initiative
  • The community or service area served
  • The requested donation amount
  • How the funds will be used
  • How the program aligns with LMCU’s funding priorities
  • The anticipated community impact
  • Any relevant supporting documents

Submitting a request does not guarantee funding. Requests are reviewed based on alignment, community impact, timing, organizational fit, and available resources.
