Wayne Area Legacy Fund

Donate to this fund

The Wayne Area Legacy Fund (WALF) is dedicated to building an endowment that will grow and provide funding for generations to come. An endowment is like a permanent community savings account in that only a portion of the investment earnings are used for grantmaking. This means your gift grows year after year.Wayne Area Legacy Fund logo is blue and gold
