Lyons Share Fund: $43K to support local businesses

Thanks to the Lyons Share Fund, a small business economic relief fund initiated by the St.Vrain Market, 43 locally owned and operated companies received $1,000 each to help cover expenses such as rent, utilities, payroll, etc. during the COVID-19 extended business closures. Below Jasmine Lok of Defined Motion shows how the grant they received was able to help pay for an outdoor dance studio so that they could keep teaching dance classes to local youth. Check out our Facebook page to see how the Lyons Share Fund has had a positive impact on other local businesses.

 

 
 

Lyons Community Support Grants: $60K in requests

Thanks to LCF’s Community Support granting program, LCF is able to focus on our mission to improve the quality of life, build a culture of giving, and encourage positive change for the greater Lyons area. 

 

In 2019, $27,000 was awarded to various projects including programs for the Lyons Emergency Assistance Fund (LEAF) such as the food pantry and Meals on Wheels, the Town of Lyons/Parks and Recreation activities such as the Sandstone Concert Series and the Parade of Lights, the Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission Public Art projects, and the Lyons Historical Society.

 

This year, up to $31,000 has been allocated to support Community Connectivity, Human Services, Youth Initiatives and Local Ecology. However, almost $60,000 total in grants was requested.

 

Your donations can further our mission and bring our community closer together.

LCF's Local Impact totals almost $500K: 2008-2019
