Making A Difference

PROMOTING LITERACY
The LIFE Foundation is dedicated to promoting and supporting classroom, school, and community based special projects related to learning and literacy. Through funding these innovative projects, The Foundation helps teachers and chapters touch the lives of children throughout California.

Use of LIFE's Tax Exempt Status
The LIFE Foundation offers the use of its Federal Tax Exempt Nonprofit Identification status to qualifying projects and/or events in two ways:
1. Use the Foundation's Tax Exempt Number (EIN) to obtain discounts to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
2. Use LIFE's tax exempt status to hold a fundraiser. All donors can make tax deductible donations to The LIFE Foundation to support your learning and literacy project.
For both of these uses, an application must be submitted. To be approved these projects must align with the mission of The LIFE Foundation. Only DKG California members, chapters, and areas may apply.
