Endowment
Why an Endowment?
For more than a decade, the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children (LPIC) has been a leading voice for children and families. An endowment provides a permanent source of support that helps ensure LPIC can continue this work for generations to come.
When you contribute to the Endowment Fund:
- Your gift is invested for long-term growth.
- Earnings support LPIC’s mission year after year.
- Future leaders can continue advocating for Louisiana’s children.
- Your impact extends far beyond your lifetime.
We are proud to be working with the Greater New Orleans Foundation on the Freeman Challenge, which provides a 50% match to every dollar earned for the Endowment in 2026, up to $150,000. Help us secure our future and transform early childhood education in Louisiana by investing in the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children Endowment Fund.
“An investment in children is one of the most powerful investments we can make. Donors can create a lasting legacy that advances access to quality early childhood education and strengthens Louisiana’s future. Your support today will help ensure that this important work continues for generations to come.” – Libbie Sonnier
