Give Where You Live. Grow What We Love.
$500,000 Raised. $170,000 Granted. And We're Just Getting Started!
Seventeen years ago, local leaders came together to create the Chisago Lakes Area Community Foundation, serving the Chisago Lakes Area School District--including the communities of Chisago City, Lindstrom, Center City, Schafer, and Taylors Falls.
Today, with a $500,000 endowment and $170,000 in local grants awarded, we’ve already made a real impact. Your generosity has helped fund:
-
Mental health programs for youth and families
-
Early childhood and literacy initiatives
-
Arts, culture, and historic preservation
-
Food shelves and crisis support services
-
Community festivals and public gathering spaces
Help Us Reach $1 Million
Now, we’re doubling down with a new goal to grow our endowment to $1 million so we can have even more local impact.
We will continue to work tirelessly to support the invaluable work of our community nonprofits, bridging gaps and addressing needs that enhance our community and the lives of its residents.
