About Lunenburg Academy Foundation
Lunenburg Academy Foundation is a registered charity that supports the conservation and adaptive reuse of Lunenburg Academy, a 19th‑century National Historic Site located in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The Foundation raises funds for restoration work, heritage interpretation, and community programming that keeps the landmark “castle on the hill” active as a cultural and educational hub. Its activities include managing a heritage classroom, alumni engagement, and public outreach around the building’s history and significance.
A charge from Lunenburg Academy Foundation on your card is most likely related to a charitable donation, membership dues, a fundraising event ticket, merchandise, or a small point‑of‑sale purchase or tap donation at the Academy site. The Foundation accepts online donations, mailed cheques, and sometimes in‑person payments, so charges may appear after you make a contribution through their website, respond to a fundraising campaign, pay annual membership fees, or support a specific project or event. In some cases, you may also see small authorization amounts when a card is first validated for an online donation form; these typically clear or settle to the final donation amount within a few days.
If you have questions about a charge, review your email for donation confirmations or tax receipts from the Lunenburg Academy Foundation and check whether any family member used your card to donate or buy event tickets. You can verify details or request clarification by contacting the Foundation using the phone number or email listed on their website, or by writing to their mailing address in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. When you reach out, have the transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of your card available so staff can locate the payment quickly, and if needed they can correct errors, resend receipts, or discuss refund options in line with their charitable giving policies.
