KLF currently operates from a home office to keep our admin costs low. However as we establish ourselves further in Orlando, we find that an official office space would greatly help our cause, from giving us a proper place from which to conduct business to allowing us to make us of university interns!
Please contact Shiyana Valentine at svalentine@kerosenelampfoundation.org or 925-699-9754 if you have an empty room in your office or an extra office that we might use to accommodate up to 2 people. KLF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and your donation will be a tax write-off for your company!
All donations will be acknowledged publicly via our newsletter, social media outlets and during our events!
Since KLF operates programs in a variety of places from the Eastern Caribbean to Florida and California, we do a lot of flying! Unfortunately the cost of flights seems to be going up, so we find that frequent flyer miles are the most economical way for us to travel. Your donated miles will help ease the cost of flying our program staff, at-risk youths and volunteers to various locations.
Thanks to a donation of 150,000 miles from Brad Johnson, 20,000 miles from Ron Brockhoff and 150,000 miles from Adonal Foyle, KLF is able to bring 7 kids and a chaperone from St. Vincent & the Grenadines to California for a 3 week learning tour in 2012!
We can make the donation process painless! Please contact Shiyana Valentine at svalentine@kerosenelampfoundation.org or 925-699-9754 to discuss!

Every program that KLF designs includes sending participating kids home with books, so we could really use your donations of children's books (fiction and non-fiction). In addition we strive to give our older kids access to SAT preparation books and other study guides to help them prepare themselves for applying to college. If you are interested, we can also provide you with a wish-list of book & study aid book titles.

In this day and age, KLF believes that every child must become computer savvy in order to achieve success. For at-risk youths, access to laptops and other electronic aids such as iPads and Kindles is virtually unheard of, and KLF is trying to equip our kids with a laptop or other useful learning device. Our kids in the Caribbean are especially isolated and these devices help us to communicate with them, monitor their work and even send them new books to read.

KLF is on the hunt for cool youth-oriented prizes, field trips, dining experiences, etc. to reward our kids for their hard work.
