To Causes that Matter.

We are a leader in charitable giving in the Lehigh Valley, receiving support from donors, managing funds to grow over time, and making high-impact grants to local nonprofits. We connect people like you with the causes you care about most.

Make Your Giving Local | LVCF Is here to serve the Lehigh Valley and all its people. Our knowledge of local issues and organizations and our connections across the region make us a perfect choice for donors who want to make a difference right here.

Maximize Your Impact | Drawing on our deep knowledge of the region and its nonprofits, our team can help you identify organizations whose missions align most directly with your interests. We will assist you in ensuring that you make your gifts in the way that yields the greatest tax advantage and impact.

Make Your Giving Easy | Making charitable gifts can be a joy but handling the administrative details and tax implications can be complicated. For those considering starting a private foundation (or already have), we offer the EverGreen Fund an alternative that saves you the expense, effort, and complication of establishing/operating your own foundation.

Ensure Your Legacy | We are the ideal partner for donors who are also committed to long-term impact—who want their generosity to continue to do good after they are gone. We will understand your wishes and manage your funds accordingly.
