Investing in Community
Lee Institute is grateful for the support of people, organizations and institutions who value our work.
As a nonprofit organization, Lee Institute welcomes the support of a wide range of people and organizations who share our commitment to transforming the community. This philanthropic investment is added to the earned revenue from our clients, tuition and sponsorship for the Charlotte Region Chapter of the American Leadership Forum.
There are many times where our experience and expertise is needed but the effort doesn’t yet have an identified funding stream. For that reason, we have been building an endowment for Lee Institute so that we can “step in” where needed – and not be held back due to a lack of resources.
We appreciate the leadership and generosity of the people and organizations who have invested in building this capacity for Lee Institute:
- The Duke Endowment
- The Leon Levine Foundation
- Duke Energy Foundation
- The Nisbet Family
Along with the generous support of these leaders in our community:
- Mozelle DePass and E.C. Griffith
- Kathryn and Luke Kissam
- Dany and Chip Nisbet
- Julie and Art Fields
- Bev and Jim Hance
- Mary and Bob Long
- Betsy Jordan
- Margaret and Smoky Bissell
- Patty and Thrus Morton
- Marian Nisbet
- Carla and Ed Rose
And members of the Lee Family:
- Helen Lee
- Alison and States Lee
- Lisa Lee Morgan
- Jan Lee
- Pat and Bill Williamson
