We are honored to share that $214,950 in Passion Grants have been awarded to help fund a wide variety of projects. 🎉 With help from volunteer grant reviewers and through the power of our community’s endowment, these awards are working to provide immediate resources for food insecurity, nurture self-esteem, support maternal and infant health, preserve historic sites, address mental health and social issues, and promote music education in Lancaster County. These grants are made possible thanks to people who chose to leave legacy gifts that support Lancaster County every year. They represent a collective commitment to building a more inclusive, informed, and sustainable community, where individuals of all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to positive change.

Through a fund at the Community Foundation, you can support any registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization in the United States. If you are interested in giving internationally, our team can work with you to find possible avenues. Our staff does the due diligence to ensure all nonprofit recipients are actively certified and in good standing as a 501(c)(3). We do not monitor the ideology of our giving partners. The Lancaster County Community Foundation uses an anti-hate and nondiscrimination in grantmaking policy to prevent money that goes out from the Community Foundation from being used for harm against federally protected classes in the community. We cannot knowingly make grants to nonprofits that intend to support or engage in hateful or discriminatory activities, whether online or offline.

Do you know what makes the I Love Lancaster Fund so unique? Because it is endowed, it grows over time to support emerging needs, while keeping the vibrance of our shared future as its priority. In fact, it’s our most flexible and responsive fund, making it possible to invest in critical opportunities like HDC MidAtlantic’s College Avenue affordable housing project at the former Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Lancaster. With a grant from the I Love Lancaster fund, HDC MidAtlantic is redeveloping the former hospital into a mixed-use site that will provide affordable housing to local residents. This renovation will not only meet the critical need for affordable housing in our community, but it also aligns with the priorities defined in the Lancaster County Planning's Places 2040 plan, the Lancaster City Alliance's Building on Strength Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania's Interim Housing Strategy. When you give to the I Love Lancaster Fund, you join 100 years’ worth of visionary funders who worked to create a way to support emerging needs throughout the county. You give it. We grow it. For Lancaster. Forever. Learn more by going to https://lnkd.in/eHee4ACb
