Since 2008, the Louisa County Community Fund has awarded over $1,000,000 to organizations that
improve the quality of life in Louisa County. LCCF is a committee-advised fund of the Community Foundation, continuing the philanthropy started by Albert and Ruby Bazzanella.
The committee is comprised of Louisa County residents who understand the needs of the community, the nonprofit sector in the county, and the grantmaking process. They approach this work with backgrounds in healthcare, essential service delivery, faith communities, government social services, the arts, education, mentorship, and minority small business ownership. Louisa-led and Louisa-serving organizations are the priority of the review committee since they are most proximate to the needs of Louisa County.
For the 2025 round, the total amount to be awarded is $89,750, and supports a wide variety of organizations having a relevant impact in Louisa County. The receiving organizations are:
Adult Community Education
All Blessings Flow
