The Luzerne Foundation’s Mission

The Luzerne Foundation, your community foundation, exists to make our region a better place to live. Through the generosity of our donors, The Foundation supports seven key areas that together support a healthy and sustainable community. They are:

Social Services

Education and Scholarships

Arts and Culture

Neighborhoods and Community Development

Youth Issues

Historic Preservation and the Environment

Health and Wellness

The Luzerne Foundation is privileged to facilitate the philanthropy of very special people who understand that quality of life requires “giving back” so others might realize the beauty of our area, have access to the arts, education, healthcare, and enjoy safe neighborhoods. The Foundation works to cultivate measurable community improvement by:

Serving as a leader, catalyst and resource for charitable activities;

Building and administering a permanent reserve of charitable capital for our region’s present needs and future opportunities;

For 14 years, The Luzerne Foundation has assisted individuals, businesses, civic groups and other non-profit organizations with realizing their goals for philanthropy so collectively they can improve the quality of life for those living and working in Luzerne County. The Luzerne Foundation... here for good.™
