Like more than 800 other community foundations across the nation, GLF’s role is to encourage and facilitate philanthropy in our home region – Greater Lewes.
The GLF also makes grants, both from funds that we manage and from the Foundation's own endowment, to support local non-profit organizations, assist with charitable endeavors and help young people from Lewes go to college.
Our Foundation serves as the fiscal agent for worthy community groups, such as Lewes in Bloom and Challenge Day, to extend non-profit status to them in a cost-effective manner.
Finally, GLF engages in studies and takes on projects for the betterment of our region, usually in collaboration with other local institutions, non-profits and the City of Lewes. All of this is in support of our mission: to maintain and improve the quality of life in the Greater Lewes region.
We do this by encouraging members of the Lewes community to establish charitable funds and to assume positions of leadership regarding key local issues.
