I am a proud supporter of LDS because it gives all children, regardless of their unique method of learning or economic background, a chance to fulfill their potential and build a strong foundation for lifelong happiness and mental health.
– David Ferguson, Financial and Corporate Advisor and LDS Board Director
Supporting LDS is a no-brainer. I met Greg Sullivan when we were both partners at Social Ventures Partners. Greg was an early LDS supporter at SVP, and it so happened that I was invited to facilitate an LDS strategy meeting (I’m a business school professor of strategy). That’s when I learned about the amazing initiatives that LDS undertakes to help children with disabilities. As an educator myself, I know first hand about the value that education can bring to elevate lives. I’m delighted to be part of the LDS family
