"I was recently asked by a valued client and personal friend to assist him in facilitating a gift to the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation. I was extremely pleased with the way the GLCF handled all of the questions we had. The President’s ability to explain and answer all of our concerns was a great benefit to my client, who was able to make a gift that honored his late wife. All was accomplished exactly as planned and was greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure working with the GLCF and I would encourage others to do the same.”
--Tom Hodges, Hodges Insurance Agency, Lynchburg, May 2024
