About Us

LemonAid Fund's mission is to aid and inspire individuals in their efforts to achieve positive and lasting change in  the lives of their children, families and  communities.

LemonAid Fund was founded as a 501 (c) 3 in 1999 with the belief that no individual, nor any individual effort, is too small to make an important difference.  We support people who believe in their own abilities to create positive change, despite any hardship or injustice they may experience… people who take action on their own behalf, to turn the “lemons” in their lives, into “lemonade”.  

Because of LemonAid Fund, individuals, organizations, and communities are creating more than they ever imagined, and doing more than they ever thought possible.

Our History

In 1996 Nancy Peddle, LemonAid Fund's founder, was working in the war-torn country of Sierra Leone and experienced the trauma of the Bloody Coup, a war depicted in the 2006 movie Blood Diamonds. After the devastation, she saw that with just a little support people's lives could be positively affected.  That experience created the seed for starting LemonAid Fund.
