About Leadership Development![]() Leadership Development Seminars' mission is to serve current and future Washington State leaders by carrying out the organizational, administrative and planning aspects of several state, local and international projects and events. Focused on youth development and spiritual development of leaders here and around the world, Leadership Development receives monies through the general public. Our vision is to prepare a place where state and community leaders can come together with emerging leaders around the person of Jesus. The activities, preparation and support leading up to and after each project and event are underwritten by donations and sponsorship by the public. The assets are invested for income-producing purposes supporting annual and monthly events and projects. The income is then designated and distributed for a charitable purpose. Established in 1991, Leadership Development is a publicly supported 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID #91-1511748). It was established to benefit youth development and receives contributions from individuals, corporations, organizations, and foundations wishing to make lasting contributions to the development of leaders through educational events and seminars. Contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law and in accordance with IRS regulations. Donors may deduct contributions as provided in section 170 of the Code. Legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts are deductible for federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of Code sections 2055, 2106, and 2522.
