The Longmont Community Foundation (LCF) is the cornerstone for philanthropy in the St. Vrain Valley. We build an endowed resource to supplement funding for local nonprofits, as well as serving as a catalyst for new philanthropic initiatives. The LCF is a long-term resource to our community.
Our vision is to improve life in Longmont through philanthropy, leadership, and strengthening the community.
The Longmont Community Foundation is a community endowment — a permanent pool of money contributed by numerous local donors to benefit charitable causes. The Foundation also stewards more than 50 funds for individuals, families, and organizations.
The LCF provides up-to-date professional philanthropic services to our donors and grantees that enhance the effectiveness of each. These services mean that both donors and grantees can count on the LCF as an ongoing resource in their mission to give back to the community, and to improve the quality of life in the St. Vrain Valley.
Longmont and the St. Vrain Valley continue to grow rapidly, placing ongoing strain on the nonprofits serving the community. These funding challenges are further complicated by the uneven swings in the economy, as fund-raising is often more difficult when the economy is soft. There is therefore a need for professional philanthropic help for both a reliable and ongoing source of grants, as well as in launching new nonprofit initiatives to meet emerging needs. The Longmont Community Foundation positions itself to meet these critical needs through building its endowment and its professional resources.
Our local professional staff provides both donor and client services based on local knowledge and hands-on collaboration. These are supplemented through LCF’s affiliation with The Denver Foundation (TDF), which will provide strong investment management, as well as fund-raising and donor service know-how.
We welcome you to join us in our efforts. Please see the Becoming a Donor page of our website for further information on how to become a partner with The Longmont Community Foundation in strengthening our community. |
