The Ladies Public Improvement Society (LPIS) relies primarily on yard sales, Central Hall rentals, and other fundraising events to meet our annual operating costs and maintain the Hall.
To fund capital improvements to the Hall, we seek the support of community donors in addition to pursuing grants and other sources. As a registered 501(c)(3) charity (EIN: 01-0374072), donations to LPIS are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. We provide acknowledgement letters for all donations in excess of $250.
