Donate

There are many ways to help!

Help us Teach a Man to Fish and get the fisherman a job.  The JLF has several revenue sources to help us remain sustainable such as food sales, catering, The Kitchen rental and The Klassroom.  These social enterprises cover approximately 75% of our operating expenses. We need your help with the rest.

The JLF is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  All donations are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law. Federal EIN 82-0789322.
