Support
There are many ways to support the students at La Salle Academy!
Winston Churchill said "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." We invite you to consider how a personal gift of your time, prayers, and support can make a difference in the lives of our students.
La Salle Academy depends on the generosity of its donors to keep the school affordable to so many in need. While sponsored by the Diocese of Allentown and supported by our Parishes, tuition rates are not sufficient to cover all of the costs of our school. We are blessed by the generosity of so many who have given the gift of their time, talent, and financial resources to support our school.

Consider a Matching Gift
La Salle Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and many companies and corporate foundations match gifts to nonprofit institutions like ours. Matching gifts are a great way to increase support for the school without additional out-of-pocket expense. Matching gifts are a very important source of support.
You may be eligible to submit matching gift claims from both your own and your spouse’s employer for the same gift. Contact the human resources office at your employer, your spouse’s employer, or even your former employer, if you are retired, to inquire about their matching gift program. You may also contact our advancement office via phone 610-777-7392 ext 205 or forsyth@lsabear.com

This is made possible by the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program! Instead of paying taxes to the state, you or your business makes a contribution through EITC, and receive a 90% tax credit (for a two-year commitment).
