Mission

The Lake County Community Fund (LCCF) provides a means to expand the capacity of local organizations, promote and facilitate giving opportunities, and inspire investment in Lake County. We envision a Lake County that has an abundance of sustainable philanthropic resources to support a thriving community.

Background Statement

Inspiration came when a group of individuals recognized that, to accomplish their collective goals, the historic mining town of Leadville in Lake County needed a more sustainable funding approach to support great local efforts long-term.

The LCCF Steering Committee was formed in August 2014 and began exploring options for building a community fund. The LCCF was established as an independent 501 (c)(3) community foundation in June 2017.

Today, the LCCF is in its eighth year operating as a stand-alone nonprofit serving the Leadville/Lake County community. The LCCF board, staff and supporters are hard at work building relationships, community support and infrastructure that will help us establish an endowment for Leadville and Lake County that can support great community efforts in good times and tough times, forever.
