At the Western Los Angeles Country Council, we're dedicated to serving the youth of our communities through our many programs. An easy way to double (or possibly triple) your contribution is through employee giving programs.
Many corporations match employee donations (or the tax deductible component of your membership) to WLACC.
If you volunteer with us, your employer may also provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your volunteer hours.
Thanks for checking to see if your company offers these programs!

Companies either provide a set monetary donation for every hour an employee volunteers or provide grants once employees reach certain thresholds.
