The Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation Announces the Recipients of its Spring 2025 Grants
In order to receive a grant, nonprofit organizations must submit an application describing a current project in need of funding, as well as a project budget and current financial statements. A Distribution Committee composed of members of the GLCF Board of Directors determines which projects receive funding after carefully reviewing the applications.
For the Spring 2025 cycle, the GLCF awarded over $554,000 in competitive grants, plus over $36,000 in grants as a result of recommendations from our donor-advised funds.
Competitive grants ranged from $900 to $25,000. The GLCF provides grants for a wide range of needs, including food/hunger, housing, education, individuals with disabilities, animal welfare, historic preservation, our environment, and the arts.
Nonprofit organizations serving the City of Lynchburg and the counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell are eligible to apply.
