The $50,000 Fifty Fund winner is Academy Center of the Arts! 


Funds awarded will support "Opening Minds through Art." The ACOA will soon offer this national, best-practice therapeutic intervention designed by Scripps Gerentology Center at Miami University in Ohio that promotes independence, social engagement, and self-expression among people with dementia. 


The Fifty Fund is a one-time award created in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation.


We thank the many donors who gave to support the creation of the Fifty Fund in 2022!
