State Senator Page Walley has revealed that the Tennessee State Museum has granted $13,000 to Loretto Lift-Up, a community organization located in Lawrence County. This financial support is aimed at bolstering the preservation and enhancement initiatives of the organization, which is dedicated to celebrating the region’s rich history, musical heritage, and natural resources.
In his announcement, Walley emphasized the significance of small, community-oriented organizations in safeguarding local traditions and providing essential support to families within the area. Loretto Lift-Up operates as a nonprofit entity that aims to empower families while fostering collaboration among residents, businesses, and various organizations to improve the overall quality of life in the community.
The funding was made possible by the Tennessee General Assembly, which allocated $5 million for museum grants intended for qualifying nonprofit and government-affiliated organizations. This initiative is designed to assist with capital maintenance and improvements, thereby ensuring that local heritage and community resources are preserved for future generations.
