The Lyons Community Foundation makes grants 
To  programs and organizations that address the unique needs of the Lyons community.  BUT GRANT MAKING IS JUST THE BEGINNING, LYONS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ALSO:

Builds a culture of giving.  

We offer ways for people who care to help the people of Lyons through philanthropy. Involved citizens create strong community.  The LCF provides an avenue for people to give and become enaged in making Lyons a better place to live and visit.

Improves the quality of life in Lyons.  

Your gifts help: 
  • feed 5% of our population every week at the food pantry
  • heat homes through the winter
  • buy literacy education toolkits for elementary school children
  • provide warm meals for seniors
  • support music and the arts for us all to enjoy
  • provide grants to hundreds of projects that would otherwise not be funded 

Encourages positive change.  

Positive change happens when determined groups of people come up with ideas and make them happen.  Many folks would not be able to see their projects to fruition without the support of the Lyons Community Foundation’s grants.  For example,  Lyons Volunteer's lunch voucher program was able to quickly and easily get off the ground with the help of an LCF grant.  This program pays for volunteer’s lunches at various businesses in town, thus supporting volunteer efforts and business recovery all at once!
