CARY, N.C. – The SECU Foundation has awarded a $750,000 challenge grant to Lucy Daniels Center (LDC) for the construction of a youth mental health facility and resource center at its campus headquarters in Cary.
The new wing will allow the non-profit to triple its current patient capacity for therapeutic services and support.
Established 35 years ago, LDC is the Triangle area’s largest agency provider of social, emotional, and mental health services for children from birth through 11 years and their families. LDC also received a Mission Development Grant from SECU Foundation in 2023 to help with fundraising strategies, including a feasibility study for the project’s capital campaign.
"SECU Foundation is thrilled to increase its support for Lucy Daniels Center with a grant for their new children’s facility in Wake County,” said SECU Foundation Board Chair Chris Ayers. “The need for their services has been growing at an overwhelming rate the past several years, and we hope our funding will lead the way in inspiring others to join these efforts in making mental health services accessible to even more families.”
