LSA Funds and Initiatives
Lutheran Services for the Aging
Annual Campaign
Annual campaign funds are used to underwrite and
enhance the ongoing operational needs of the organization, giving LSA the
ability to apply your contribution wherever it is needed most. They may be used
to pay chaplain salaries, augment nursing staff, advance staff training,
enhance activities, implement innovative programming or to improve residences.
These are the critical funds that enable LSA to provide quality care to nearly
1400 residents and participants each year.
Lutheran Services for
the Aging General Endowment
The LSA General Endowment was established
to provide ongoing financial stability and contingency funding for the
organization. Unless otherwise specified by the donor, a portion of all
unrestricted estate gifts benefiting LSA is generally applied by the Board of
Trustees to the general endowment. A gift to this fund provides for the future
of LSA, helping to ensure that this ministry can care for many generations to
come.
The Disciple's Fund
The Disciple's Fund is a
benevolence fund created to subsidize costs for residents whose personal and
family resources are no longer adequate to cover the cost of their care. LSA
faces an increasing need to care for residents who have exhausted their
resources. This can occur for all sorts of very legitimate reasons. With
counseling and support from LSA, the resident's family is sometimes able to
identify family sources of income that can help bridge the gap. But on other
occasions, these individuals have nowhere to turn. The Disciple's Fund is
inspired by the Biblical account in John 19:26-27, in which the "disciple Jesus
loved" takes Mary, the mother of Jesus, into his own
home.
Chaplains Endowment
The Chaplains Endowment has
been created to support the chaplaincy program at LSA. With aging may come loss
or the prospect of loss: the loss of loved ones, the loss of health, and
sometimes the loss of connection to church and community. The chaplains of LSA
restore that connection, while bringing both comfort amd spiritual
encouragement to residents, families, and staff. No distributions will be made
from The Chaplains Endowment until the principle in the Endowment reaches $1
million.
Endowments for Staff Excellence
The purpose of
these endowments is to recognize and encourage staff excellence which
ultimately benefits residents. Support provided through the endowments may
include underwriting/assisting with the annual staff bonus program and the
longevity bonus program; providing enhanced staff training; enabling staff to
participate in professional conferences and off-site training opportunities;
and providing enhancements to physical locations where staff seek respite, such
as staff dining areas or staff lounges. |
