Launch Funding Plan 50 for 50 Campaign
The CFLF has earmarked fifty (50) positions to be designated as Founding Members.
Founding Members who donate $50,000 will be officially listed on the Fund’s site and any related materials as Founding Members for the life of the program.
Founding Members will be candidates for positions on the Board and key committees but service is not a requirement.
Our Unique Endowment Approach
Unlike many charitable organizations that rely heavily on annual giving campaigns to support their funding needs, the Community Fund of Lake Forest intends to leverage an endowment model to support its mission. More specifically, we intend to raise an initial and robust donation pool that will be professionally invested and deliver returns that can fund CFLF’s mission for years to come. As the endowment grows via donor gifts, so will the amount of annual giving.
