This year, 277 Lowell High School graduates received $702,251 from 431 scholarship funds, helping students take their next steps toward higher education.

Behind those awards were dedicated volunteers who contributed more than 700 hours reviewing applications and generous donors committed to investing in the next generation.

A safe, stable home is the foundation for so much more.

When families face housing instability, the effects can reach every part of life, from keeping a job and getting to school to physical and mental well-being.

Local nonprofits are working every day to keep families housed and supported. The Resilience & Care Fund helps GLCF provide fast, flexible funding to organizations responding to urgent needs like these.

Youth-serving organizations: this resource is for you. 🎨

GLCF has released the Arts Elevate Embedded Artist Toolkit, a FREE, comprehensive guide to help organizations launch and sustain arts-based wellness programming with professional community artists.

Developed from Arts Elevate’s Fall 2025 pilot across four Greater Lowell organizations, the toolkit turns real-world experience into practical guidance that can be adapted for different programs and communities.

Explore it. Adapt it. Share it. And create new opportunities for young people through the arts.
