A little history....
​

A grassroots group of Lyons area residents came together in October, 2007 to organize an impartial, philanthropic foundation called The Lyons Community Foundation serving the Greater Lyons Area. This foundation is a fund of the Community Foundation serving Boulder County with a local advisory board made up of area residents.  
​

LCF's Mission Statement:
​The Lyons Community Foundation exists to improve the quality of life, build a culture of giving and create positive change in the greater Lyons area.
​
​
The Lyons Community Foundation exists to....               
 
- Build a culture of giving  

Through philanthropy, LCF connects people who care with causes that matter. Involved citizens create strong community. The LCF provides an avenue for people to give and engage, making Lyons a better place to live.









- ​Improve the quality of life in Lyons  
​
Through your financial contributions and the community support grants, we are able to:
  • PROVIDE human services such as the local food pantry, financial assistance, meal delivery for seniors and mental wellness & addiction recovery
  • CONNECT the community through the summer concert series, the winter wonderland series, the parade of lights, public art displays
  • INVEST in our youth through a generous scholarship fund and grants to local schools
  • SUPPORT local ecology initiatives such as the newly formed Lyons Food Forest
​


​- Encourage positive change 

Positive change happens when determined groups of people come up with ideas and make them happen.  Many are able to see their projects to fruition with the support of the Lyons Community Foundation grants.
