Endowment

Our Endowment ensures long-term sustainability by providing lasting financial support for programs, research, and innovation.

Endowment

When Lee Pesky Learning Center was founded in 1997, Alan and Wendy Pesky made a powerful and lasting decision: they directed the remainder of their son Lee’s estate to establish an endowment that would sustain LPLC’s mission for generations to come.

That first investment laid the foundation for our future.
As of January 31, 2025, the LPLC endowment totals $7,350,065, a vital source of stability, growth, and impact.

Our endowment allows us to:

  • Plan strategically for the future

  • Expand services to reach more students and families

  • Scale our impact in Idaho and beyond

Unlike annual donations, endowment gifts are invested permanently. The income generated each year supports LPLC’s work in research, direct services, and educator training, helping us improve outcomes for learners facing obstacles.

The LPLC Endowment Board carefully manages investment and distribution, while the LPLC Board of Directors ensures that all endowment policies support our long-term mission.

How You Can Help

When you contribute to the endowment, your gift becomes part of a lasting legacy. You help ensure that students and families will continue to benefit from LPLC’s services today, tomorrow, and for decades to come.

We gratefully accept gifts of cash, check, credit card, or securities.
