How Your Donations Help

• $50 covers the cost of psychological counseling for one student during a six-month period
• $100 covers the cost all educational and social services for one student for six months
• $480 provides a tutor’s salary for a quarter. This allows the tutor, who was formerly a TOLC student, to continue his/her education, while “giving back” by training other Center participants
• $1500 funds an administrator leader/coordinator for a quarter

Donations of all sizes are appreciated

Donation Payment Options

​*FOLC is the US-based 501(c)(3)  [EIN: 274937593] accepting donations of LESS than $10,000 for each occurrence.

For donations of $10,000 or more and/or foundation grants, please contact Robert Anyon at robertanyon@tolc.org.mx

We appreciate your contribution by any method and for any amount, but a word about fees incident to using PayPal is noted below. Please take a look to be fully informed.

Our preferred method of donation is by check (instructions below).  
We also accept PayPal and credit card donations (both of which are processed through the PayPal link below). 

However, PayPal takes a fee that reduces what we receive by 2.2% + 30 cents per transaction.  This is true whether you use a credit card or not. So when donating through PayPal if you increase the gift value by $2 for every $100 of intended donation, we will receive almost all of the amount you wanted to give us. This is totally up to you and please know that we really appreciate your help no matter what you decide to do.

Note if using a credit card: If you donate with a credit card, your credit card will be charged an additional fee for its use by PayPal (somewhere around 2.9% normally, but it may vary by card). There will be no further reduction to us, but you will be charged this extra amount on your credit card. It is important to us that you are fully informed about this, as there has been confusion in the past.
