The Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation is here for everyone. We are a vital institution that supports our region’s incredible assets and works toward racial equity and economic opportunity. Your gift to our Annual Fund plays a pivotal role in building a more vibrant community. Together, we can create a brighter future for all who call it home.
The Annual Fund supports the Foundation’s general operations, allowing us to make a positive impact on the community, such as by strengthening local nonprofits through capacity building and funding, cultivating the next generation of philanthropists, harnessing collective giving of donors in our community, and providing deep research of our community’s greatest needs. Through visionary partnerships and strategic investments, we are uniting community members and driving positive change in our region.
The Foundation is a cornerstone of our community, a unique part of the fabric from which so many good things are created across Oak Park, River Forest and surrounding communities. Your support builds on our mission to overcome the barriers to racial, social and economic justice, and remain steadfast in our service to our local organizations, donors and scholars.
