Brief History of LCGC The Liberian Community of Greater Cincinnati (LCGC) is a voluntary, nonprofit, non-governmental, community-wide, and humanitarian organization that serves Liberians and friends of Liberia in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio. The organization provides good such as computers, and other humanitarian services to Liberians students in Liberia. In the early 1970s, the late Nancy Anderson, wife of the late A.B. Anderson, and other Liberians founded the LCGC at the Andersons' home in Cincinnati, Ohio. The late Nancy Anderson and families hosted Liberians who needed help and used their home for meetings and for socialization. By the late 1970s, the LCGC had grown from few individuals to include members from the Federation of Liberian Association in Ohio (FOLAO) to four appointed officials with approximately 30 members.The LCGC is a sub-chapter of FOLAO. Beginning as individuals' gathering [social club] in the 1970s, the club name changed to the Liberian Community of Greater Cincinnati in the early 1980s with the call for greater community service by the fusion of few split away FOLAO members. In June 1981, the LCGC incorporated into the Ohio State Charter as a non-profit organization. Nevertheless, since its inception the organization leadership had been inactive over a long period of time for various internal reasons. In August 2006, a new leadership emerged to restructure the organization. This new leadership has been instrumental in bringing the organization back to live with many future challenges lie ahead. The LCGC current budget is $971 with a fiscal year 2007 set (approved) budget of $5,100. Officials provide strategic plans to reach the organization's goal and mission. L.C.G.C is indebted to its early founders. Clcik here to view our constitution
