We are pleased Derrick Litz made the decision to attend NVU-Lyndon and that our $2500 scholarship helped make his decision easier. This year we are looking to gift a scholarship to a senior from each of the High Schools in the Northeast Kingdom. This is made possible by the help of our supporters. Thank you to all of you who help us keep local students furthering their careers at NVU-Lyndon.
November 15, 2019 Dear LSC Foundation Supporter, The LSC Foundation is appealing to you for a donation that will increase funds we make available to NVU-Lyndon for scholarships for NEK students. We are committed to the NEK and further education of students living here with the hopes they will remain in the area to further their careers or to start their own businesses. Any donation large or small is appreciated. We have enclosed a brochure so you can learn more about us. Visit our website as well at www.lyndonstatecollegefoundation.com to view our past fundraising events to raise money or to actually donate by credit card through the site. We are sure you have all heard the recent news of small colleges closing in New England. We feel the college on land TN Vail donated to the State of Vermont should always have a college on it. NVU-Lyndon is an economic engine to the whole business community of the Northeast Kingdom. You might wish to talk to your tax advisor about charitable gifts of appreciated stock or mutual funds—you will get the charitable deduction without paying capital gains. If you are over 70 ½, your mandatory distribution from an IRA is another consideration for gifting. Thank you so much. Please get in touch with any of the foundation’s executive committee members if you have questions. We are a non-profit organization. Donations are tax exempt as provided by section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Sincerely, Lorraine Impey, President
