Cause Connection JANUARY 2018 LEHIGH VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION CAUSE CONNECTION Connecting people who care to causes that matter Dear Friends: At the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation we’ve been celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2017 with a year of special “Be the Spark” grantmaking. At the same time, we continue our strategic commitment to being a local philanthropic knowledge-base in support of our donors and their potential for long- term support of the community. We are pleased to share information and resources on charitable giving, nonprofit organizations and community needs to philanthropists in the Lehigh Valley. The Community Foundation hopes that through continuing Cause Connection after a brief hiatus to get our 50th in full swing, we can pro-actively connect people who care to causes that matter.

  • Explore. Inquire. Astonish
    2018 Community Impact Report EXPLORE. INQUIRE. ASTONISH. THANK YOU To all of our members and visitors, donors and community partners, volunteers, staff, and trustees for your unwavering support over the years! 2 Dear Friends, In this report we celebrate the bold dreams of our early founders and the Da Vinci Science Center’s success over the last 20 years. In 1999, a small group of trustees established the Discovery Center of Science and Technology, an independent non-profit that grew into the science center we have today. In 1999, Leonardo da Vinci’s Horse, Inc. a non-profit organization in Allentown, Pa., installed a 24-foot-tall bronze horse in Milan, Italy, realizing the bold vision of its founder Charles C. Dent to fulfill Leonardo da Vinci’s dream. In 2003, these two organizations came together to create what we know today as the Da Vinci Science Center. With your generous support over the years, our science center has grown dramatically and impacted hundreds of thousands of lives, igniting lifelong interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). 2018 was another record breaking year with participation in science center experiences exceeding past levels, fueled by continued investment in new programs and school and community partnerships. We served close to 150,000 people at our Allentown facility and at schools and community sites throughout the region. On the pages that follow, we share examples of how your support was invested in new exhibits and programs at our Allentown facility and throughout the region. However, with growth, comes challenges. Our current facility is not able to meet the increasing demand for STEAM education.
