How You Can Help Gifted Gardens & Lake Area Industries

Missouri is home to 90 workshops that employ over 7,500 people with developmental disabilities, and Lake Area Industries / Gifted Gardens is right here at the lake! While most locals know about LAI and Gifted Gardens, few see the entire picture of the remarkable work produced here. LAI / Gifted Gardens is actually a small, independent business. Although we occasionally receive funds from a county levy and support from the state of Missouri, 70 to 80 percent of our funding comes from services we provide to the community. We are a private, not-for-profit corporation, overseen by a volunteer board of directors. Board members include local business people.
