Giving through Grain
Growing the future of Lenawee County Together.
The Lenawee Community Foundation brings people together to support community needs. From individual gifts to those that are pooled to make a larger impact, all contributions serve as a resource for our community.
Together, we can make sure our community stays strong and supported for years to come.
Farmers can make a charitable gift of grain instead of cash, which may provide added tax benefits by reducing inventory to report. The Foundation can help with the transfer of ownership before the grain is sold to maximize these benefits.
By donating grain, you honor our community’s agricultural heritage while also supporting important charitable causes that keep Lenawee strong today and into the future.
