What We Do

As a philanthropic leader in Lenawee County, we dedicate ourselves to making Lenawee County a better place for all who call it home. By collecting donations and investing them for lasting impact, we fund grants, scholarships, and local initiatives to address community needs, support nonprofits, and enhance the wellbeing of our neighbors.

We provide:

  • Grants for local nonprofits and youth organizations
  • Scholarships for students and lifelong learners
  • Support for local programs and initiatives that meet real needs
  • Resources for volunteers and nonprofit leaders

Every dollar is invested to benefit Lenawee County, now and forever.

How We Make It Happen

We do more than give — we collaborate, connect, and lead. Our work includes:

  • Stewarding donor funds with transparency and care
  • Partnering with local nonprofit organizations to meet urgent and ongoing needs
  • Supporting youth and nonprofit philanthropy
  • Publishing the Lenawee Resource Guide
  • Coordinating VOLUNTEER Lenawee!

We show up with sleeves rolled and hearts open, because taking care of our neighbors is a way of life around here.

Why It Matters

Because we care deeply about our community and the people who call it home.

From Adrian to Blissfield, Tecumseh to Morenci, we’re building a Lenawee where health, happiness, and hope are within reach for all.

With your help, we can ensure our community continues to grow stronger, together — today, tomorrow, and always.
