Purpose:  All projects should be focused on improving the Lamberton area.

The Lamberton Area Community Foundation (LACF) is pleased to announce that the application window for the 5th annual round of community grants is currently underway, with an application deadline of May 31st, 2026. Applications will be reviewed in June and applicants notified soon thereafter. Approved grant activities will take place from June through December 31, 2026.

We are looking to help fund projects that fit our foundation’s purpose and support your organization’s mission. Eligible applications are 501c3 Non-Profits (including churches, religious organizations, & charitable organizations), Local Units of Government and Schools within the Lamberton zip code (56152).
