Your generosity, time, and passion have been the driving force behind the work we do to strengthen the fabric of our community.

Whether you’ve contributed financially, volunteered, or shared our mission with others, your support inspires us to continue creating positive change. As the year comes to a close, we want to wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year. Thank you for being such an integral part of our mission—here’s to an even brighter year ahead for Lodi, together!

A FEW EXCITING NUMBERS TO SHARE
There have been 61 grants made from Lodi Community Foundation funds in 2024 totaling $107,773!
Lodi Community Foundation now manages 42 unique funds totaling $7,875,644 in assets as of December 2024!
Numbers are impressive, so are our actions! We have had so much success in 2024, such as another powerful Community Philanthropy Summit, matching funds we provided to Lodi’s 209Give participants, and our second annual LCF grant opportunity.
In addition, we were generously listed as recipients of legacy funds from incredible people that we have lost in recent years. We are ensuring that we do our part to continue what Darrell Drummond, Sheila Wishek, and Amelia Ernst intentionally did for the City of Lodi – investing in local nonprofits, programs and projects that will continue to improve the City of Lodi and the lives of those that live here.
We are excited to see what 2025 holds! If you are interested in making our year a little brighter, please consider us for an end of year donation.
