Our Story

In 2003, a visionary group of civic leaders recognized the need for a community foundation in Lake County. Partnering with The Chicago Community Trust, they laid the groundwork for a sustainable future. By 2022, the Lake County Community Foundation became fully independent, dedicated to building permanent assets and driving transformational change.

Impact

With over $14.1 million invested in Lake County’s nonprofit sector, the foundation manages 36 component funds totaling over $23 million. During crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, it established a permanent Crisis Relief Fund, raising and distributing over $1.6 million to frontline nonprofits.
