Ways to Give

The CPL Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that can accept charitable tax-exempt donations. Donations can be made in the form of cash, check, gifts of stock, or other financial assets. The method you use depends on your circumstances.  A quick rule of thumb is:
–  If you are giving $1 to $100 online donations are preferable.
–  If your donation is more that $100 it is better to give by check.
