Our general endowment has been built and maintained by generous citizens who believe a portion of their charitable contributions should benefit their town. The Lyme Foundation welcomes your tax-deductible contributions.  We are grateful to all of those who have contributed in the past, and hope you will join us in our work of putting grant money directly back into our community to make Lyme even better than it already is. Thank you!
