Litchfield Area Community Foundation
Litchfield Area Community Foundation (LACF) is a permanent resource for the community that provides leadership and financial resources (grants) to help meet the needs of the community, and offers a variety of giving options to help donors meet their unique philanthropic goals.
Organized under the umbrella of Southwest Initiative Foundation, the community foundation is a vehicle for making charitable contributions for the benefit of the community through a permanent endowment fund that enables people to give back and fulfill the dreams for tomorrow. A local advisory board provides oversight and directs how funds will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Litchfield area.
