Thousands already donated for upcoming London, Ont. homelessness plan
On Monday morning, LCF’s director of philanthropy Diana Silva told Global News more than 90 people had donated online for a total of $16,000.
The number more-than-quadrupled by Monday afternoon when Libro Credit Union announced in a media release that it had donated $50,000 to the cause.“This is clearly something so passionate and important . You can just feel it, the community is totally engaged and fired up about this,” Silva said. “It’s beautiful to see where we’re at and I can only imagine how quickly we’ll get to the $5 million.”
Silva added that the current fundraising total does reflect non-online options. Donors are allowed to send in larger gifts via cheques or by donating privately-held securities.The anonymous family wanted the LCF to be in charge of operating the $5 million fundraiser, Silva said. “This is what we do, we offer these flexible fund options and the stewardship of high governance, making sure that the money is being used for its intended purpose, that the money is protected and that we’re tracking all of the donations,” Silva added.
