As a result, the LSUA Foundation was incorporated and kicked-off the school's first fund-raising effort, the Educational Challenge Fund. Many of Central Louisiana's most influential civic leaders volunteered their time and resources for the effort, and these leaders continue their involvement with the Foundation today. With the outstanding support of Central Louisiana's businesses and individuals, the LSUA Foundation now has an endowment with a market value of more than $8 million. The Foundation continues its work to establish endowed scholarships, endowed professorships, and unrestricted gifts to benefit the university. In 1999, the Foundation provided funds to build a campus child care center which serves the LSU at Alexandria community with a quality early learning program for the children of students, faculty and staff. The Center also provides observation opportunities for LSUA students enrolled in early childhood education, kinesiology, developmental psychology, and pediatric nursing courses. The LSUA Children’s Center is the only campus childcare facility in Louisiana that was constructed entirely through private donations. The Foundation continues to provide funds for the Center. The Foundation is proud to offer more than 80 endowed scholarships for students and 14 endowed professorships for outstanding faculty. Donations to the LSUA Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
