Charitable Funds at the Lenawee Community Foundation
Investing in Lenawee’s Future—Together

Every fund reflects a story—of generosity, of vision, and of commitment to Lenawee County’s future—and plays a vital role in strengthening our community, today and for generations to come.

Designated Funds: Support a specific nonprofit you care about by providing that organization with steady, long-term funding.
Field of Interest Funds: Support a cause you care about—like youth, arts, or the environment—while the Foundation funds the nonprofits doing the best work in that area.
Donor Advised Funds: Let you recommend which nonprofits receive grants from your fund, with guidance andstewardship from the Foundation.
Scholarship Funds: Help students achieve their educational goals through scholarships designed around the criteria and values you choose.
Community Funds: Provide flexible resources the Foundation can use to meet the community’s most urgent and ever-changing needs, now and in the future.
Agency Funds: Allow a nonprofit to create a Fund with the Foundation so we can manage and grow their resources while they focus on their mission.
These funds grow through thoughtful stewardship and strategic investment, creating a permanent source of grantmaking that fuels progress across our community. When you give to an existing fund or create a new one, you join a network of caring neighbors who believe in building a healthier, more vibrant Lenawee County.
