"I joined the movement because the Lorain County Urban League embodies the spirit of progress and equality that I've fought for over 50 years. It's more than an organization; it's a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change in our community. Through their tireless advocacy and empowerment programs, they continue to uphold the principles I hold dear, ensuring that every voice is heard and every individual is valued."

Get it Done All Around Service - Small Business Owner Embracing Urban League's Network:

"I joined the movement because I recognize the power of collaboration and community. The Lorain County Urban League provides a network of support and resources that have been instrumental in growing my small business. From networking events to mentorship opportunities, they've helped me connect with like-minded individuals and tap into a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Together, we're not just building businesses; we're building a stronger, more vibrant community."

Mark, Lifetime Member Emphasizing the Importance of Annual Giving:

"I joined the movement because I understand the critical role of annual giving in sustaining the vital operations of the Lorain County Urban League. As a lifetime member, I've seen firsthand the impact of their programs and services on our community. By supporting their general operations, we ensure that they have the resources needed to continue their mission of empowerment and advocacy for years to come. It's not just about making a donation; it's about investing in the future of our community and creating lasting change."

The Gift of Forever

Gifts to the Urban League’s endowment fund with the Community Foundation of Lorain County last a lifetime, and will ensure a permanent income stream for our mission. An endowment is a permanent investment that grows over time. Each year, a portion of the fund can be distributed to our cause. Rather than a one-time gift, an endowment continually generates resources that will be available forever.
