Pennies from Heaven Foundation
Addressing the Greatest Needs of Our Community

LAKESHORE RESOURCE NETWORK

All of the resources needed, in one spot.

The Pennies from Heaven Foundation is a private family foundation focused on serving the greatest needs of the local community. As a foundation, we think differently. We were encouraged by the work of Dr. Ruby Payne, and her book, "Bridges Out of Poverty".

 

We aim to create a path to self-sufficiency in our community that will allow any and all persons or families in poverty who wish to cross the bridge the opportunity, the ability, the means and the support to cross the bridge out of poverty.

 

As a Foundation, we do our research, and investigate best practices. We do not seek to create more programs or just write checks. Instead, we aim to support what is needed and what is working for that path to self-sufficiency.

 

Grants:

  • Our grants are not determined by the age of the program, but rather the ability to succeed. 

  • Our grants are not strictly limited to one category, but are evaluated on the potential impact of

    • Meeting Basic Needs,

    • Improving Education for Children and Youth,

    • Teaching Financial Stablility to Adults and Families, or

    • Improving Health, both physical and mental.

 

Due to the work the Pennies from Heaven Foundation has committed to in 2018,
we are not accepting outside grant requests at this time.
