LGN established the Lockridge Grindal Nauen Foundation to further our commitment to supporting the communities where we live and work. The Foundation supports nonprofit organizations with an emphasis on promoting access to educational opportunities, justice, housing, and removing systemic barriers to achievement and opportunity.
