Fund Options
Choose your fund, or contact us to create your own fund based on your area of interest
COMMUNITY FUND (endowed)
The largest fund. Your donations are endowed, meaning only the interest and dividends—never the principle—determine the amount of annual granting ability, allowing this fund to go on in perpetuity.
ENHANCING SENIOR LIVING FUND
This fund supports programs that honor the elderly, encourage independence, fill a local need and foster social connections.
COMMUNITY FUND (operating/non-endowed)
Provides funding for CLACF operational expenses.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
This fund was formed as a result of the Chisago Lakes Area’s 2015-2017 participation in the America’s Best Community competition, which focused on economic development. The fund continues that purpose, supporting projects or events that promote the success of local small businesses.
