The Lenawee Community Foundation aims to enhance the quality of life in the Lenawee community by building endowments, addressing community challenges and opportunities, and supporting charitable organizations through grants. Their mission focuses on fostering a stronger, healthier community by responding to the needs and leveraging opportunities.
The grant program supports projects that provide maximum benefits to Lenawee community members, with careful consideration of the needs and opportunities in the area alongside the foundation's resources. Specifically, youth groups or organizations in Lenawee County can apply for grants up to $2,000 for local projects through the Lenawee YOUTH Council. The grants target projects demonstrating community value and youth asset building, with a preference for those showing active youth participation and volunteerism. Projects benefiting communities throughout Lenawee County and those committed to raising matching funds will be given priority.
