Established in 1992, the Lawrence County Community Foundation (LCCF) serves Lawrence County, Indiana, by helping caring individuals, families, and organizations establish or grow existing permanent endowment funds to achieve their goals for Lawrence County through charitable giving.

The earnings generated from these funds are given back to the community in the form of grants and scholarships. Because these funds are permanent, they will be used to benefit Lawrence County for generations to come.
