You Can Help

100% of all donations go directly to the kids. This is possible because John and the Lingap Board of Directors pay all administrative overhead expenses. This enables your donation to have the greatest possible impact on the children.

Donate Airline Miles
John typically travels to visit the Lingap Center about four or five times each year. Since he and the board personally pay all Lingap Children's Foundation administrative expenses including travel costs, the financial burden is significant. If you would be interested in assisting by donating airline miles, please contact him at helpingkids@lingapcenter.org.

Host an Event
One of our most successful means of raising money has been through fundraisers at private homes, churches or schools. These are an excellent way to learn more about children's issues throughout the world, while spending time with family and friends in support of a good cause.
