MAKING OUR COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE SINCE 1965

The Lima Community Foundation connects people who care with causes that matter.

We serve as a vehicle for donors, volunteers and community members to identify important needs and build resources to make positive change in our region.

Every day, the Lima Community Foundation is helping individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations and other foundations meet their charitable and financial goals by serving as a vehicle which makes giving to one’s community easier, more flexible and effective. We work to encourage endowment building as an effective means to address community challenges and opportunities. We promote and facilitate community philanthropy, and we also help our donors invest in organizations they care about.

We do this by:

• Making strategic investment in programs and organizations that benefit the region.
• Equipping organizations and the public with knowledge and information that will lead to positive change.
• Building endowment – community capital – to meet our region’s needs today and tomorrow.
• Providing expert assistance to donors and their advisors in the charitable needs.
