Individual Giving

If languages have played an important role in your life or the lives of your loved ones—or if you wish you’d had greater access to language resources—we invite you to consider making a financial gift.

Your contribution at any level—from small monthly gifts to legacy giving—makes a difference by supporting the professional needs of language educators and helping us communicate to the public the critical importance of language education.

We welcome gifts by check and from donor advised funds!

Corporate Engagement Opportunities

Is your company interested in supporting a future workforce of multilingual and culturally competent employees who have the resources and education they need to thrive?

LCF's Corporate Council and Program Sponsorship Opportunities provide customizable ways to meet your business needs and charitable interests—from scholarships to support future language teachers and professional awards to microgrants for classroom needs, and beyond!

Non-Financial Giving

If a financial gift is not currently in your means, there are many other ways to support language education! We appreciate any capacity in which you are able to contribute to our common mission.

  • Refer prospective Advisory Council & Board of Directors members, as well as prospective blog participants across all profile categories (Language students, multilingual professionals across sectors, and language educators).
  • Share your expertise as a panelist in a professional development session for LCF Student Ambassadors and/or Teacher Scholarship Program participants.
  • Follow us on social media across platforms @LangConnectsFdn and engage with our posts.
  • Volunteer your time and talent as a selection committee member to help recognize excellence via our awards or scholarship programs. You are invited to explore all current opportunities at the link below (please note that some volunteer roles are limited to ACTFL members).

Please email us to learn more about all of these options, as well as to discuss additional ideas you may have!

Volunteer Opportunities

Our programs are supported by dedicated and passionate volunteers who give their time and expertise to further strengthen the language education profession while broadening their networks and connecting to individuals with shared interests.

We invite ACTFL members to serve on a wide range of virtual committees throughout the year, including on our Professional Awards and Teacher Scholarship Program selection committees.

Join us today for fun and fellowship!
