We are fortunate to live in a community that is so caring and giving. The Greater Lynchburg Community Trust has gone from a bank employee’s suggestion in 1971 to a $29 million community foundation that gives approximately $1 million annually to meet essential needs in our region.
The generosity of donors to The Community Trust over the years has enabled us to grow and to support charitable programs which strengthens our overall community. We are indebted to these thoughtful people who have given wonderful gifts to those in need in our community. These donors along with many volunteer board members and advisors who have given their time and effort to the cause have been the building blocks for The Community Trust. Our trustee banks and investment advisors have provided expertise and advice to enable our endowment to grow. Our Distribution Committee spends countless hours evaluating critical needs in our community, reviewing grant applications, and awarding grants to enhance the quality of life of our citizens.
We live in a wonderful community where our citizens understand the “higher calling” to help those in need. The Greater Lynchburg Community Trust has been a major vehicle to accomplish this in our community, and we will be a major player in that role for many years to come. That is part of the magic of an endowment fund. It lasts forever.
Those who have made gifts to The Greater Lynchburg Community Trust know that their gifts will continue to benefit future generations. And these donors, their families, and their causes will be remembered forever through named funds.
Thank you to all the donors, volunteer board members, advisors, trustee banks, investment advisors, and staff members for making The Community Trust such a success. We look forward to serving the community for years to come.
