To help fund future programs, even with the anticipated revenue growth in the Five-Year Financial Plan, additional endowment funding is essential. The present economic climate requires that all non-profit organizations be positioned to bridge the gap between revenue (program income, annual contributions and membership dues) and operating expenses. Sound long-range planning dictates that the Lloyd Center continues to raise funds for endowment in order to sustain a secure future. Restricted gifts and funds raised above the amounts needed for five years of operating support will be added to the Lloyd Center Endowment.
