The Lopez Island Education Foundation (LIEF) presented a $140,000 check to Lopez School?"marking the first step in its campaign to raise $300,000 to close the district’s budget gap.
These funds will be applied directly to the 2025-2026 school year budget, ensuring continued access to essential programs and services for Lopez School students.

This initial gift reflects the generosity and commitment of Lopez Island donors. Contributions are arriving via PayPal, personal checks, donor-advised funds, IRA distributions, private foundations, and even cash. Every dollar helps preserve a vibrant K-12 education on Lopez Island.
