What they do
THE MISSION of THE LBID is to FACILITATE AN IMPROVED BUSINESS CLIMATE, WHICH is HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON TOURISM. THE LBID ALSO IMPROVES THE FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS of THE BUSINESS DISTRICT, SUCH AS ENHANCING THE STREETSCAPE, CONDUCTING THE MAINTENANCE THAT THE CITY of LIVINGSTON DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDS to PERFORM, IMPROVING SECURITY and SAFETY, CONSERVING THE HISTORICAL NATURE of THE DOWNTOWN AREA, and DEVELOP A STRONG, AGGRESSIVE MARKETING PROGRAM to ADVERTISE THE AREA. THE LBID WAS FORMED IN 2011 AFTER A MAJORITY (60%+)OF THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS OWNERS SIGNED A PETITION IN FAVOR of CREATING THE DISTRICT,WHICH WAS THEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION. IN FISCAL 2021, BY VOTE of THE CITY COMMISSION, THE LBID WAS RENEWED for AN ADDITIONAL 10 YEARS, EXPIRING IN MARCH 2031.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
