The LAF Legacy Endowment was established to support brick and mortar type community projects that take many dollars to establish a program or building in Laclede County, Missouri. In lean years, the Legacy Endowment can be used to supplement the Community Cares grants. This is a permanent endowment that serves as an essential funding source for community needs without reducing the principal of the fund.

LAF Legacy Endowment Fund donors are recognized for their generosity in the LAF Annual Report and on the LAF website.
