The JLSF Endowment Fund

The JLSF Endowment Fund was established in 1992. Designed to be self-sustaining, the Endowment Fund ensures long term, stable financing to support the JLSF and community programs in the years ahead.

The Endowment Fund enables us to turn each dollar into many dollars. All donations to the Endowment Fund are permanently restricted. Your contribution becomes principal that is never spent on projects, but rather is invested to create interest income; only income generated by these investments will be used to support the JLSF mission.
