The Greater Lowell Community Foundation envisions a sustainable region where all people in the 21 communities we serve will thrive. Our mission is to inspire philanthropy for all, and philanthropy has a role in ensuring everyone has opportunities to achieve their full potential. Historic and systemic inequities undermine the economic and social well-being of residents in our communities. These persistent disparities are based on such characteristics as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, economic class, geography, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and more. When some of us are less able to participate in and benefit from our society, this is detrimental to the entire community. GLCF strongly believes that addressing racial disparities is the first essential step towards our mission of building a more fair and just community for everyone.
