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.
