The Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity and donations are tax deductible. In addition to general donations, the Foundation generates funds through various fundraising events and activities.
Thanks to the continued generosity of donors over the past 10 years, the foundation has granted 96 college scholarships totaling more than $2.3 Million dollars to a very deserving group of students. Importantly, since the Michael Lynch Memorial Foundation is an All-Volunteer organization, 98 cents of every dollar donated is directed to the scholarship program. A list of these grants and other information may be obtained upon request. Our Legal page contains additional details.
Please give generously. From a terrible tragedy, an opportunity to help finance the education of these young people is a living tribute to the human spirit and our collective resolve to respond to adversity with courage, strength, compassion and hope. This foundation provides the means to help change the world in which we live, one person at a time, by building a vision for the future where the students of today become tomorrow’s stewards of peace and freedom.
