Celebrate 160 Years of Impact by Supporting LSI
In 2025, LSI is celebrating 160 years of service to Iowans with a major celebration in Des Moines. This milestone event will honor LSI’s history of strengthening families, supporting youth, welcoming newcomers, and empowering communities across the state.
We invite corporate partners to sponsor this special celebration and stand with us as we look to the future.

In-House Fundraising Ideas
If you are interested in fundraising for LSI, please email Philanthropy@LSIowa.org to get connected with a team member.
If you know anyone who is a Thrivent Financial Services member, ask them for help on your fundraiser. Through Thrivent’s Action Team program, you can receive “seed money” to make it even more successful!
Support LSI’s mission of hope and healing by providing important everyday items.
- School supplies for our Refugee and Immigrant Services. View our Amazon Wish List here.
- Conduct a personal care items campaign for children, parents, families, and Iowans with disabilities served through LSI. We are looking for:
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrushes
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Deodorant
- Body wash
- Soaps
- Feminine hygiene products
- Bedding (pillows and sheets for twin beds)
- Bath towels
These activities are similar to those that coincide with a workplace giving campaign. When done for LSI, however, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to LSI.
- Matching Dollar Campaign – Challenge your employees to raise a monetary goal that your company will match.
- Jeans Day – Invite your employees to “dress down” and wear jeans, sweatpants, or the like for a donation to LSI. These days are great on Fridays!
- Treat Day – Employees bring treats that other employees can buy, similar to a bake sale.
- A Penny for Pie – Management encourages other employees to vote with their coin purse or wallet to see who on the leadership team will receive a pie in the face at the end of the campaign.
- Ugly Sweater Day – Make the holiday season (or any day of the year) more meaningful for everyone by inviting your employees to make a donation to LSI and wear an ugly sweater. Employees can vote on the ugliest sweater and the winner gets to present the dollars raised to LSI and have their picture (modeling their ugly sweater) posted on LSI’s Facebook page.
Plan an activity to engage your local community while raising funds for LSI.
- Fun Run
- Rummage Sale
- Bake Sale
- Car Wash
Contact LSI and we can provide information to include in registration packets or ideas to make it more successful.
