ON A PERIODIC BASIS, THE FOUNDATION'S INVESTMENT COMMITTEE WILL PROJECT THE AVAILABLE FUNDS TO BE DISBURSED OUT OF THE ENDOWMENT FUND. BASED ON THIS PROJECTION, THE FOUNDATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL SELECT AND APPROVE A DISBURSEMENT PLAN FOR THE RELATED PERIOD. DISBURSEMENTS ARE MADE TO SUPPORT THE OPERATIONAL AND CAPITAL NEEDS OF LSSM. DURING 2010, $892,123 OF PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS WAS TRANSFERRED TO UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS, AND $49,301 TO THE TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS. THIS TRANSFER REPRESENTS THE AMOUNTS THAT MANAGEMENT DETERMINED WERE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PERMANETLY RESTRICTED. THE DONORS OF THESE ASSETS PERMIT LSSM TO USE THE INCOME FOR GENERAL PURPOSES. THE LSSM FOUNDATION IS A WHOLLY-OWNED NOT FOR PROFIT SUBSIDIARY OF LSSM. DONORS CONTRIBUTE PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS TO THE FOUNDATION THROUGH FOUR ENDOWMENT FUNDS.
