Announcing five new funds in third quarter
Please join us in welcoming the following group of new fund holders to the LCF family! Five new funds were approved by our board of directors in August.
We are incredibly grateful for all those who made the choice to start a fund at La Crosse Community Foundation. I just love being able to partner with good people to accomplish great things together for our community!
