Lowe’s Charitable & Educational Foundation Grants | |
|
Founded in 1957, the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation (LCEF) has a long history of contributing to grassroots community projects. LCEF awards millions annually to diverse organizations across the U.S. The Foundation provides funding only to 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organizations and public agencies in communities where Lowe’s operates stores and distribution centers.
LCEF requires all applicants take an eligibility test. Organizations that pass will be considered, but not guaranteed a grant. LCEF receives far more requests than it can accommodate. Many times, requests that pass the eligibility test and fall within the stated guidelines are not approved. Grants generally range from $5,000 to $25,000.
The primary philanthropic focus areas are:
- Community improvement projects
- K-12 public school initiatives
- Vocational trade school scholarships
