Lake Forest

Our Progress

With support from current volunteers, we have made great strides toward our goal of launching the Fund

We have filed with the state of Illinois to register the Fund and secure our 501(c)(3) status

Governing documents are in development

Preliminary discussions have begun with a number of potential donors

Our website is being designed and should go live in a month.

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.

Join Our Growing Team of Supporters and Advisors

Starting with three like-minded Lake Forest residents, our team of supporters and advisors has grown sizably to include past Mayors, financial experts, City Council Members and many other longstanding, civic minded residents across the community. In order to succeed, the Fund will require even more volunteers and we welcome your interest in joining our cause.
