Become a Community Builder by Donating Monthly
Over the past ten years, Lyons has had to recover from a 1,000-year flood and a pandemic. We have also had some close calls with wildfires. As a community foundation, LCF has learned that recurring donations make it easier to support immediate local needs, prepare for future challenges and strengthen our work in the community. We call our monthly donors "Community Builders", because building a better community is at the very heart of our mission. For just $1/day or $30/month, you can help local projects get off the ground. At LCF, our monthly donors plant seeds that bloom all year long. Seeds like human services, community connectivity, youth investment and local ecology help grow our community into a bountiful garden of beautiful wildflowers.
