Many Needs of Children and Schools
Fulfilled Through the CLEF Good News Fund
GOOD NEWS FUND DONATIONS -- made possible by people like you -- enable
schools to upgrade their educational materials, set
up remedial programs for new students, provide scholarships
to needy students and purchase equipment such as desks
and computers.
More than 50% of donations
are used to make capital improvements in the school
buildings, including security systems, furnace/boiler
repairs, new windows and other renovations. Lutheran
schools tend to be older with much deferred maintenance.
While most schools can support current operations with
tuition and donations, extraordinary expenses like
roof repairs are difficult to pay for.
