Community
Giving Through the Foundation
The
Lake Community Foundation is a supporting organization for the Community
Foundation of Central Florida and can accept donations from the
community for any charitable cause.
Donors
can support favorite community programs and projects through donations
to the Lake Community Foundation. Donated funds are professionally
managed and the disbursements are professionally administrated.
Donors
gain an added level of security for their gifts through Lake Community Foundation’s affiliation with the Community Foundation of
Central Florida. Not only does CFCF have professional money managers,
it also annually audits its supporting organizations.
By
selecting a community foundation for donations, donors are able
to provide ongoing support for favorite charities or choose different
charities each year during their lifetime. Donors can also choose
to distribute gifts during their lifetime or leave a lasting legacy
or do both.
Donating
to a community foundation is not just easy, safe, and flexible;
it also taps into expert advice on charitable giving.
