In 2018, The Lanesboro Area Community Foundation collaborated with several other organizations in support of an Electronic Information Sign which was placed in close proximity to the school.

The electronic sign is intended to bring the community closer together by improving communication.

In 2018, supporting an initiative by Lanesboro Arts to have a new Welcome to Lanesboro sign installed, Lanesboro Area Community Foundation approved a grant of $1,000 to support the project.

The grant awarded by LACF covered the cost of installation of the sign which is located near the entrance to Lanesboro on County Road 8.

In 2018 the Lanesboro Area Community Foundation granted funds for the installation of a bike rack which was placed near the entrance of the Lanesboro Public Library.

The bike rack has been well received and is used on a daily basis.

In 2018, LACF was pleased to award a grant to the Lanesboro school to help fund the Empty Bowls project. The project, organized by Stena Lieb, K-12 Art Teacher and Dana Norby, High School Special Education teacher, gave students and community members the opportunity to create handmade bowls for the event. The goal of the teachers was to create awareness among students to spread kindness.

Students took the initiative, with guidance from the teachers, to create, plan and promote the event. The students got very involved in the project by making soup, bread and treat for those who attended Empty Bowls. The students also worked at the event which taught them independence and responsibility. The project raised funds for the Fillmore County Food Shelf.
