Financial Contributions

You can make a one-time gift, a recurring gift, or a tribute gift via our online donation processor, Classy, using the link above. On Classy you can donate via credit card or bank transfer. Sign up for monthly giving here by selecting “Monthly”

If you prefer to send a check, please indicate which location you would like to support (Greater Washington, Greater Baltimore, Greater Philadelphia, Western NY, or Greater Columbus) in the memo or note “general support.” All checks should be mailed to our national office:

Leveling the Playing Field
Attn: Development

Washington, DC 20036

DAFs (Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, etc.) are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicles in the US. This is because DAFs are one of the most tax-advantageous ways to give. With a DAF, you can make grant-giving recommendations from the account to IRS-approved charities like LPF!

When making a contribution, be sure to indicate which location you would like to support (Greater Washington, Greater Baltimore, Greater Philadelphia, Western NY, or Greater Columbus) in the memo or note “general support.”

Create your own peer-to-peer fundraising page for your birthday, wedding, bar/bat mitzvah, or other milestone. There are many ways you can fundraise for us – reach out to Kira Venturini, Development and Partnerships Manager, at kira@levelingtheplayingfield.org for any questions or ideas you may have.

By donating stock instead of selling it, you may be able to deduct the full market value and avoid capital gains tax. In most cases, ownership of your assets can be electronically transferred. To donate stock, please reach out to Carrie Stringfellow at carrie.stringfellow@morganstanley.com. 

The CFC gives federal workers, retirees, and government contractors an efficient, cost-effective, and employee-focused opportunity to support the causes closest to their hearts. During the campaign season, you may designate LPF as a recipient of your contribution by using CFC Number 30201 or United Way of the National Capital Area Designation 9736.

If you are 70½ or older, you may make a gift to LPF directly from your IRA to satisfy part or all of your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.

To leave LPF in your will is to leave behind a legacy of equity in sports and recreation. Your contribution will help us to continue increasing access to youth sports and recreation, helping kids from all communities enjoy the mental and physical benefits of sports.

When planning your estate, feel free to use the language below to support LPF:

To leave a specific amount or percentage of your will:

• “I give to Leveling the Playing Field at 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 1200, Washington DC 20036 and with the tax ID 45-2682632, the sum of $____ (or ____% of my estate or property described herein), for its general purposes.”

To make a residuary bequest to LPF:

• “All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, I give to Leveling the Playing Field at 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 1200, Washington DC 20036 and with the tax ID 45-2682632, for its general purposes.”

Although not a requirement by law, we appreciate being notified when LPF is included in your will. If you have any questions or comments, please contact: Kira Venturini, Development & Partnerships Manager at kira@levelingtheplayingfield.org.
