FUNDRAISING

CHAIR | Dave Porath

The Long Lake Association has experienced rising costs for delivering services to our members. The LLA Board recognizes that we cannot raise membership dues to keep pace with our financial needs and has created the Fundraising committee to focus Board attention on raising outside funds. We want and need your cash donations and are modifying the LLA website to make donations easier.

LLA is now designated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This designation offers potential donors several new opportunities to merge their desire to maintain the health and beauty of the Long Lake watershed with proven donor tax planning strategies.

For federal tax filers who itemize their deductions, Long Lake Association should be a top choice as you plan your giving. We are available to meet with you and your tax advisor about:

• Donations from required minimum distributions from retirement accounts.
• Donations of appreciated assets, such as stocks.
• Legacy bequests through wills, insurance policies or trusts.

Your donations to LLA can be directed to our General Fund, Invasive Species Fund, or our Boat Wash Fund. Donations can also be made in remembrance of a loved one. Finally, because of our merger with the Long Lake Foundation, LLA now has an endowment, managed by the Community Foundation.
