Grants Program
“Make a Ripple, Start a Wave”
Throw a pebble in the water
Make a ripple, start a wave
The end result is always greater
Than the effort you gave.
-Roger Turner
LCCF was created to help a vision come to fruition. A group of Lake residents had a dream to build a Monument to our Veterans. The Monument would be a testimony to the commitment Lake Cherokee has to supporting the men and women who sacrificed so that we could live in this beautiful place.
The idea was there. The machinery to get it done was not.
So, a community foundation was built to bring in funds, to ensure the safety of the donations and integrity of the project, and to oversee its completion.
Do you have an idea? A project that would benefit our Lake community? Let’s talk!
