Sharing Legacy Foundation stories of impact from our blog with you!
At Legacy Foundation we have a front row seat to so many empowering things that we simply cannot fit into press releases, our quarterly newsletter or annual report.
Each day we meet people - nonprofit leaders, donors, local officials, small business owners, volunteers - who are positively changing the lives of friends and strangers in Lake County and beyond by creating greater access to education, the arts, outdoor recreation, health services and much more.
On Fridays we'll share one of those inspiring stories from a Legacy supported program, project, or neighborhood that you can read on the blog.
