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.

Contribute to any Fund at BLCF

You can give to any fund at the Barnesville-Lamar Community Foundation. Contributions are tax-deductible and you can also give in honor or memory of your family and friends.

The fund to which you are making an online contribution will be charged a processing fee of 2.598% of the amount of your contribution plus $0.26 per transaction, which is the actual fee charged to CFCG by the processing vendor. This will not affect the amount of your tax deduction for this contribution. Your contribution will still be tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. If you do not want the fund to incur the fee, you may make your contribution by mailing a check to CFCG at 577 Mulberry Street Suite 1600, Macon, GA 31201.
