With your partnership, the opportunities to improve lives and strengthen our community are endless.

The Leadership Giving Association (LGA) was formed in 1987 by volunteers to encourage and honor the generosity of individuals and families who invest $1,000 or more annually.

Through the visionary leadership and personal involvement of its founding fathers, Guy Bostick, R.L. “Buddy” Fletcher, George W. Jenkins and Paul Scott Linder, the LGA has become the foundation of philanthropy in our community flourishing to more than 2,000 members to date.
