Description
The Charles F. Lindig Fund, administered by the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania (FCFP), supports projects benefiting the Borough of Lewisburg. Its scope includes religious, charitable, educational, cultural, recreational, and economic welfare. Charles F. Lindig established the fund through a portion of his estate in appreciation of the opportunities Lewisburg afforded his family, creating a living memorial to his grandparents and parents.
The fund favors projects with attainable, measurable goals and financial strength sufficient to sustain their work, especially when requesting start-up or seed support. Review also emphasizes collaboration among nonprofits without duplicating efforts, and projects that leverage or generate other funding or use the grant to attract matching funds.
