I Love Lancaster Fund
The I Love Lancaster Fund is a way you can contribute directly to the community’s endowment. Our most flexible and responsive fund, your donation grows over time to support emerging needs while keeping the vibrancy of our shared future as its priority.
While the Community Foundation holds a wide variety funds of started by families, individuals, businesses, and organizations to support specific causes, the I Love Lancaster Fund provides a way to respond to pressing community needs as they arise, strategically invest in innovative ideas at their earliest stages, or build resiliency in our community. From helping to establish Lancaster Cares, an initiative providing care to individuals during the COVID crisis, to investing in the HDC Mid-Atlantic’s College Avenue Affordable Housing Project and supporting the Clay Street Low Barrier Shelter, to preserving farmland for future generations, gifts to this fund throughout the last 100 years have shaped our community.
Through grants, impact investing, ExtraGive, leadership and capacity building, and other initiatives, the I Love Lancaster Fund evolves to meet the needs of an evolving community.
Anyone can give to this fund. An endowed fund is unique because your gift joins others and is invested for long-term growth, steadily yielding dollars to support the community year after year. That means small gifts don’t stay small and big gifts get bigger. Contributing to the I Love Lancaster Fund is one way you can be part of shaping our shared future in a lasting way.
You give it. We grow it. For Lancaster. Forever.
