LWS Change Makers
We are proud to recognize our LWS Change Makers—donors who have generously contributed a minimum of $400 for the fiscal year. Their support makes a real difference in helping us carry out our mission and support the community.
These generous donors embody the spirit of leadership and commitment. Their contributions help us offer valuable programs and resources that support today’s leaders and prepare the next generation to lead.
Thank you to our Change Makers. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for our community!

By joining the Leadership Circle, donors not only make a significant impact but also become part of a dedicated network committed to fostering growth and positive change in Winston-Salem.
