Special Announcement

The Directors of The Lillian L. Colby Foundation have made the difficult decision to not open the fall grant application cycle this year. We will be focusing our support on the community effort during the COVID-19 crisis. We anticipate reopening our grant application cycle with the spring cycle of 2021. That cycle will open later this year and close on February 15, 2021. Thank you for your understanding and all that you do to support our community.
