What We Do

Our Work in Lenawee County

At the Lenawee Community Foundation, we connect people who care with causes that matter, bringing health, happiness, and hope to our community, today and for generations to come.

We’re All In

As a community foundation, we are a charitable organization created by and for the community.

Specifically, we are a place where people come together to give financial resources to support the needs in our area. From individual gifts to those that are pooled to make a larger impact, all contributions serve as a resource for our community.

The Lenawee Community Foundation employs a team of experienced community leaders who work to steward contributions and stay in-tune with community needs to make a positive impact right here at home.

Giving & Granting
— How It Works:

  • We Collect Donations
    To build a resource for community needs.
  • We Invest Wisely
    To earn interest that can be used for charitable giving, FOREVER.
  • We Make Grants
    To local organizations and projects that will make our community stronger.
  • We Address Needs
    To support our community’s vital needs — education, healthcare, the arts, or more —today, and for generations to come.
  • We Build for the Future
    By ensuring we have the resources not just for today, but for the future needs of our community too.

We do more than give — we collaborate, connect, and lead.

We embrace the hard-working, neighborly values of Lenawee County in our daily work, doing our part to lend a hand, contribute resources, and collaborate with others to make sure our community has what it needs to thrive.


With your help, we will continue to address the needs of our region through positive initiatives and unique funding opportunities.
