The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation has designated Tuesday, June 23, as a “Day of Giving,” creating an opportunity for industry participants to contribute to their own legacy by supporting the talent pipeline essential to the future of the equipment leasing and finance sector. The Foundation is looking to grow its donor family during this 24-hour fundraiser with individual and corporate donations. All giving levels are welcome, and all donations are 100% tax-deductible.
This year’s fundraiser marks the ninth annual Day of Giving, which is intended to remind people of the lasting impact they can make when they support the Foundation’s mission to advance the equipment finance industry forward.
The Day of Giving campaign funds the Foundation’s Campus to Career workforce development programs which are made possible entirely through individual and corporate donations, including:
- Scholarship program of $5,000 awards to attract students to the industry
- Campus to Career Industry Overview Presentations at colleges and universities
- University partnerships to build formalized equipment finance course curricula

"This Day of Giving is meant to highlight the critical work the Foundation does to build tomorrow’s workforce," said Miles Herman, President and CEO of LEAF Commercial Capital Inc. and Foundation Board Chair. "Your 100% tax-deductible donation is vital for strengthening the talent pipeline and attracting the range of skilled professionals that are critical to our businesses and the sector’s continued growth and success."
