Message From The Executive Director
Mary Greene

Hello Friends,

It’s impossible to believe that the support you gave to LCF and this community in 2023 was somehow even greater than in 2022, thank you!

Because of you, we had another productive year of growth and success. Thanks to those near and far for making 2023 an outstanding year in many ways. We had the most successful Challenge for Charities in history (third year in a row), we grew our existing free Power Hour and workshop educational series, we gave a year of free marketing guidance, video, and photography to any Lander nonprofit organization who took advantage of the opportunity, we guided six fiscally sponsored entities into nonprofit incorporation status, we mentored and coached many nonprofit boards of directors helping them to remain effective and productive, and we established new relationships with partners who believe in our mission and values. Thank you for all the ways you showed up in 2023!

Additionally, you gave your time and energy to get racers through the finish line safely on the 4th of July, joined the other Challenge for Charities (C4C) Challengers by giving to the Matching Fund, and continue to offer LCF unrestricted financial support so we can power our mission forward—thank you.

We seek feedback and appreciate community engagement at every turn. While we make sure to stay aligned with our strategic plan, we very much appreciate your engagement in our efforts to keep Lander vibrant and strong. 

You can count on us to keep moving forward with tenacity while staying true to our mission. Working together builds a stronger community, now and well into the future.
