Ways to Give
The Community Foundation of South Lake County is dedicated to serving our community through connecting resources and intentional philanthropic giving.
Over the past 27 years, the Community Foundation has provided more than $18 Million in community grants and scholarships.
Donors stay actively involved in the grant-making process. Some donors wish to support multiple non-profit organizations throughout the year.
The Community Foundation can help identify appropriate nonprofits and programs, ensure their charitable status and provide grantmaking and administrative support.
These funds offer an immediate tax benefit while allowing the donor to make grants over time to their favorite nonprofit organizations.
A legacy gift is designed to carry on your family’s name and philanthropic goals forever.
Legacy gifts include creating an endowment fund or bequesting the contribution in your will. This type of gift provides perpetual income growth to your chosen non-profit or cause in Lake County.
Donors identify a specific area of interest to support, such as children’s programs, education, arts, aiding the homeless or any other concern.
The Community Foundation awards grants to high-performing organizations or programs in the selected field.
Donors helps students pursue academic goals, including high school students going on to post-secondary education or adult learners going back to school.
Donors may define guidelines for candidacy, the advisory committee, the school and the award itself.
The Women’s Giving Alliance is a giving circle, where members contribute individually and make grants collectively. Each member represents a link in an ever-growing chain that makes it possible for the Women’s Giving Alliance to achieve far more together than its members could accomplish on their own.
