Barnesville-Lamar Community Foundation

About BLCF

On December 7, 2006, a group of interested local citizens met to learn about the possibility of establishing a community foundation for Lamar County and in early 2007, the Barnesville-Lamar Community Foundation was established. At its most basic level, all Lamar County citizens share a common interest. They want their schools, churches, governmental entities, civic charities, and the community they call home to be the best they can be. BLCF has the potential through its grants to encourage and enhance local charitable entities to make Lamar County a better place to live and work.

Lamar Gives 365

Established in 2014, Lamar Gives 365 is a program of the Barnesville-Lamar community Foundation designed to bring people together to improve the community. Each member gives $365 per year—just one dollar a day—to make the community a better place. Your dollars are pooled with others. Half of the money is used to give grants this year. The other half of the money is placed in an endowment for the future. You and the other members choose which organizations receive grants.
