A Community Fund is established to provide flexible, unrestricted funds that can be used to meet the greatest needs and opportunities in Lenawee County when needed. All donations to a Community Fund are pooled and invested by the Community Foundation. Then we identify organizations through our community engagement work and invest in organizations, when it’s needed most, to make the greatest impact across our county
