The LENS Endowment was established to ensure the long-term sustainability of our mission to support the Isle of Palms Police Department (IOPPD), Fire Department (IOPFD), and the broader community. The Endowment aims to provide annual financial support, distributing 5% of its funds each year, or more in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the LENS Selection Panel and Oversight Committee. It supports a range of initiatives, including hardship awards, community-based programs, special requests from IOPPD and IOPFD, and other approved projects. By contributing to the Endowment, you help us continue to serve those in need within our community and support our local first responders.
