Business Model
The LSS business plan brings together many programs and services to work toward the realization of our agency mission. We avoid individual program costs by centralizing administrative services (development, marketing, IT, payroll and human resources). This affords LSS scale economics as well as strategic expertise throughout our Network of Hope. In addition, our economic engines (market rate health care facilities) work to generate enough revenue to cover their direct costs and the administrative costs of the social service programs (such as LSS Faith Mission, LSS Food Pantries and LSS CHOICES). By doing so, our goal is for 100% of your donation to go toward the direct cost of serving people in need.
The LSS Network of Hope
Each program within the Lutheran Social Services Network of Hope is unique and diverse—serving a different function in achieving our mission of creating a better world by serving people in need. Because they are supported by the LSS economic engines, you can be assured that your donated dollars are going directly to helping your neighbors and our community.
