Lamb Foundation. LAMB, which stands for “Least Among My Brethren,” is a foundation that raises funds to assist people with intellectual disabilities in North Carolina. The LAMB program was started in 1960, became a statewide program in 1974 and was formally established as a public, nonprofit, fully tax-deductible 501(c)3 charity in 1999, named the LAMB Foundation of NC, Inc. The sole purpose of the foundation is to raise funds and distribute them to accredited organizations and institutions throughout the state that assist people with intellectual disabilities.
Since its inception, the LAMB Foundation has raised more than $24 million for people in North Carolina with intellectual disabilities. That money has been raised all without a single paid employee, thanks to the more than 16,000 Knights of Columbus statewide who, along with their family and friends, stand long hours giving away Tootsie Rolls and asking for donations. Fully, 93% of the funds raised go directly to charity. The only major operational expenses are for the Tootsie Rolls, aprons, and an outside accounting firm.
