Become a Patron of LA LOTUS Foundation
The Foundation's work needs patient listening as much as public action. Patrons help us make room for careful research, education, rights information and community relationships.
Support is recorded for LA LOTUS Foundation alone. Online giving is not yet available; submitting your interest does not collect a payment.
Financial support is never required to participate in our community. Everyone is welcome to receive updates, attend public programs and explore volunteer opportunities. Patronage is a way to provide sustained financial support to the Foundation's work.
