Ways to Give
Gifts of Cash or Credit
The most frequent method used to make a gift to the school is a personal check or credit card. Gifts of cash are tax deductible in the year the gift is given. Checks should be made payable to The Lamplighter School and should be mailed or delivered to the Advancement Office. We accept VISA, MasterCard, and American Express and can make arrangements to charge a gift on a monthly or scheduled time frame. You can also charge your gift online by clicking on the Make a Gift button.
