For people excited about starting a nonprofit or fundraising for a cause. We can help you out from the very beginning! Get in touch with us and through our partnership with the La Crosse Area Community Foundation we can make sure you get the information you need to get started on the right foot.
Collaboratives
Many of our projects started out as small associations or groups that found the need for 501(c)3 status, but didn't have the governance structure to take on the burden. Through fiscal sponsorship, LCNI can give your collaboration the administrative support it needs so you can focus on your mission and fundraising!
Nonprofit Organizations
For smaller nonprofit organizations that are suffering from too much to do and not enough hands to do it. LCNI offers services that can help alleviate some of the administration and financial oversight work that can drag an organization down.
For-Profit Businesses
For businesses looking to add a charitable arm to their endeavors, LCNI can work with you to help you achieve these goals through private/public partnerships.
