Ways to Give
One-time donations
To execute our program, the Youth Legislature of Louisiana thrives on the generous support of donors. One-time donations form the foundation of this vital support. In times of need, these contributions empower YLOFLA to break down barriers, allowing the most passionate children to participate in a program that can truly shape their futures. Thanks to one-time donations, we can ensure that countless students have the opportunity to experience this incredible journey.
Monthly Donations
To the untrained eye, it might seem like YLOFLA is only a two-day event each year, but the reality is that our enthusiastic students, dedicated administrators, and committed staff invest significant time and effort in preparing before, during, and after the session. With a dependable funding source, we can ensure that all preparations run smoothly and successfully. As a YLOFLA monthly donor, you can play a vital role in making this happen!

Corporate Sponsorships
Corporate sponsors play a crucial role in supporting the Youth Legislature of Louisiana as we nurture the next generation of civic-minded leaders. Their generous financial contributions help us cover essential program costs, including scholarships, venue rentals, and educational materials, ensuring that mock legislative sessions are accessible to every student, regardless of their background. We are proud to offer tiered sponsorship levels, which provide meaningful benefits such as logo placement and recognition in our materials. Each dollar invested not only empowers youth through hands-on government experience and leadership development but also fosters a deeper understanding of the legislative process, creating a brighter future for all.
In-Kind Donations
In-kind donations help keep our program running smoothly while minimizing expenses. These contributions can include meals for students during sessions, printing services for legislative materials like our Bill Books, volunteer and teacher support, student awards, or donated supplies like notebooks, name badges, refreshments and tech equipment.
Every non-monetary gift helps us stretch our budget further, ensuring more students can participate in our life-changing program. By donating goods or services, you’re supporting civic education in a practical and impactful way. In-kind donors are acknowledged in our program materials and may be eligible for tax deductions. Your generosity keeps our sessions engaging, organized, and accessible to all.
