long-term sustainability, in the form of general endowment or an endowed chair to ensure that the Institute can fulfill its unique role for generations to come;
sponsorship of workshops, seminars, and major conferences on the national or international level to enhance the study and application of love, altruism, and service;
sponsorship of book and essay publications through competitive awards for junior or senior scholars;
sponsorship of educational curricula aimed at enhancing the understanding and practice of love, altruism, and service at all levels, from pre-school to professional schools;
sponsorship of national leadership programs focused on the role of creative altruism and service;
sponsorship of programs for clergy of all faiths in order to increase awareness of the science of love, altruism, and service in congregations;
