* SALEF endeavors to honor donor designations for specific departments/campaigns. However, in the event that a campaign does not meet its fundraising goal, exceeds the required amount, or becomes impracticable to fulfill, SALEF may, at its discretion, reallocate the remaining funds to its General Fund. This ensures continued support for critical equipment, technology, and training needs across all participating departments.
We’re doing great things!
