$150,000 Challenge - Help Us Reach Our Anniversary Goal!

2018 LACE Board L to R: Mary Cable, Paul Johnson, Heidi Ness, Lori Statz, Bill Haupt, Peter Tonn and grant team member Bob Steiner

Lodi Area Community Endowment, known as LACE, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a $150,000 fundraising campaign to raise money and awareness of LACE's charitable work in the Lodi community.

To help us reach our goal, Madison Community Foundation has awarded a $50,000 challenge grant.

For every $2 LACE raises, MCF will provide a $1 match until we reach our goal of $100,000!

With an additional $150,000, the new endowment fund balance of $450,000 will allow LACE to award approximately $12,000 every year to nonprofits in our community.

Since 2011, LACE has awarded more than $38,000 to area causes and organizations.

Your contribution to LACE is held in perpetuity to provide an ongoing resource for future giving, and your gift is tax deductible to the fullest extend of the law. 

American Legion Post No. 216 worked with LACE to complete the restoration of the hall and kitchen. The building was constructed in the late 19th century. The LACE Board saw the vision in the project and the value to the greater community. The financial assistance they provided was instrumental in completing this project for the community. LACE is an organization that can work with you to make your vision of the community become reality.”
