LaGrange Independent Foundation for Endowments, or L.I.F.E., is a philanthropic group of young people, funded through a grant from Dekko Foundation.
Representatives from each grade, 8 through 12, from the four county high schools are members of the L.I.F.E. group. They are selected when they enter grade 8 and serve throughout their high school career as the advisory committee for the donor advised non-permanent fund held by LaGrange County Community Foundation. L.I.F.E. submits a grant request for funding to Dekko annually.
Grant applications submitted to the office of LCCF are evaluated
by the L.I.F.E. grants committee in order to select recipients.
Deadlines for L.I.F.E. grant proposals are:
- October 1,
- January 1,
- and March 1.
