If you want to offer long-term support for Lake Land College, you might be interested in an endowed gift. Through an endowment, your gift is invested and pays out a yearly distribution, which goes to support an area of your preference. Many times, endowed gifts go to support the most important assets of the College, our students and faculty, by providing scholarship, program and professorship support. A minimum amount is required to establish an endowment. However, an endowment can be built up with smaller gifts over a period of time. For more details about establishing an endowment, contact us.
