We strengthen our community through philanthropy.
We provide a central resource for donors, professional financial advisors, student scholarships and nonprofit organizations serving Oak Park & River Forest.
For Donors, we provide value and expertise, tax advantages and giving options.
For Professional Advisors , we offer a partnership to better serve their clients, and a focus on charitable interests.
For donors wishing to create a scholarship, donate to an existing fund or to students seeking scholarships, we have the experience and the resources to provide many opportunities.
For non-profits serving our residents, we convene community resources to address underfunded and/or emerging needs. We link non-profit organizations with similar goals, providing networking and relationship-building opportunities within the community. We provide community grants and special Community Works grants. We also help nonprofit organizations build endowments through www.lastinggift.org and through special endowment matching opportunities crafted with our donors.
