While Annual Gifts, especially those to the LHS Annual Fund, provide essential daily operational support to LHS, leadership gifts are critical to sustaining our mission and ministries into the future. The LHS Foundation has created several special funds and endowed funds that allow major gift donors to support these critical areas of long-term institutional need.

You also may create a named endowed fund designated to support a special area of need or interest. Major gifts, both outright and deferred, provide critical funding of key needs that our annual operational budgets simply cannot fully fund.
