Since 1993, Leaders in Furthering Education (LIFE) and the Lois Pope LIFE Foundation have been dedicated to helping and improving the lives of the voiceless and vulnerable in our society- those who are disadvantaged, marginalized, or forgotten because of disabilities, socio-economic status, neglect, age, abuse, and other barriers.  Founded by Lois Pope, one of America’s most committed and creative philanthropists and humanitarians, the two non-profit organizations provide aid, assistance, and awards for disabled veterans, medical research, college scholarships, humanitarian relief, the performing arts, and animal welfare.
