After August 25th, 2025, you can begin fundraising as soon as your campaign is approved! Campaigns submitted before August 25th will not be approved until after that date when fundraising season has officially begun.
Your campaign is flagged for approval in our system once your beneficiary information is entered, but we may contact you before approving the campaign, particularly if your beneficiary information is for an individual and not an organization. All fundraising campaigns go through a manual approval process by the LCF Fundraising Team, so it is important to note that campaign approval only occurs during business hours.
Our fundraising program for the 2025 season begins August 25th. After this there is no date too late to start, just keep in mind that our fundraising program season ends December 14th.
