Is the Foundation a nonprofit organization?

How can I make a donation?
Donations are gladly accepted by mail, by telephone and online. For more information, see the Ways To Give section of our Web site.
Can I make a donation in honor or in memory of someone?
Absolutely. For more information, see the Ways To Give section of our Web site.
What is a corporate matching gift and how can I make one?
Many large corporations have matching gift programs and will match your donation to a charitable organization. It's an easy way to double or even triple your personal contributions to the Leadership Broward Foundation. You should talk to your human resources representative to find out if your company has such a program and how you can participate. More information is also available in the Support Ways To Give MJFF section of our Web site.
Can I come to a program or fundraiser?
When a program or fundraiser is open to the general public, we make every effort possible to alert LBF alumni, community partners, and other supporters who might be interested in attending. Because the purpose of our programs and/or special events is to help fund our programmatic efforts, however, we are not able to offer free admission or to otherwise subsidize attendance. Visit Events of our Web site for more information.
Can I volunteer?
We do have volunteer and internship opportunities from time to time, which are listed on our Web site as they become available. For more information, visit the Member Center section of our Web site.
