What is #GivingTuesday? 

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving where we are all untied by the power of social media and collaboration.  It exists because of compassionate donors LIKE YOU who create a surge of charitable giving on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

Why give to LiFT on #GivingTuesday?

Did you know

1 in 68 children are identified with Autism

Only 64% of students with learning disabilities will graduate High School

Only 28% of young adults with intellectual  disabilities will have full time employment

Those with disabilites are the LARGEST Minority in the United States

LiFT supports, empowers and creates opportunites for those with disabilities and neurodiversities. 

Based in Pinellas County, Florida,  LiFT has two outstanding educational programs. LiFT Academy, serving students in Kindergarten - 12th grade and LiFT University which is a four year post secondary transition program for young adults.

The mission of LiFT is to provide challenging academics while building character and confidence, in an accepting and inclusive environment, so traditional students and those with neurodiversities can develop to their fullest potential. Some of the neurodiversities on the campus of LiFT include names like autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, ADD, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays and more. 

We have a passion that each student comes to value and view their diversity as a gift to be celebrated. Equally important is for each student to respect the differences found in each other.

At LiFT, we have created an environment that is free from bullying so students can grow - not only academically, but socially, emotionally and in self confidence!

LiFT provides the academics, life skills and career readiness training for independence. 

TODAY, YOU TOO CAN PROVIDE HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY. PLUS - EVERY DOLLAR DONATED TO LiFT ON #GIVINGTUESDAY WILL BE MATCHED - UP TO $5,000 BY A VERY GENEROUS DONOR.

The funds raised from this campaign will impact every student at LiFT and will go towards  scholarships, employment training, (High School and LiFT U students), robotics program and reading and math enrichment programs.

YOU can Make a Difference and Here's How: 

Please donate.  You don't need to donate a lot.  Small donations add up quickly.  Those $10, $15 and $25 donations can make all the difference for our students.
