I am pleased to present the 2014 annual report to the community.

The CPCF was created in 1990. The success of the Foundation has been

tremendous. That success depends upon many factors.

Our Donors

The Foundation maintains a donor listing of more than 3900 names. Donors come to us from

different backgrounds, age ranges and knowledge of philanthropy. But they always give with their

hearts as well as their pocketbooks. Donors put their trust in the Foundation as they acknowledge our

deep commitment to community and fiscal responsibility. Thank you for your continued belief in the

Crown Point Community Foundation.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The 19 member Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of all the Foundation’s gifts, grants,

investments and program areas. These volunteers give of their time, their talent and their treasure to

make the Foundation a success. Since 1990, 54 dedicated community members have served or are

currently serving on the Board. We thank them for their service.

GRANT RECIPIENTS

The Foundation partners with many nonprofits to connect the needs of the community to the grant

dollars available. Grantees provide the programming to assist our community and make it stronger.

The Foundation provides financial support and guidance in strengthening these agencies.

THE FUTURE

The Foundation is committed to giving into the future. It is the basis of endowment building. Our vision

for the future remains clear and strong. The growth of the CPCF will change the course of lives in Crown

Point and south Lake County. Please consider becoming a more invested partner in this movement.

Together, we can do so much.

Scholarship Funds Students pursuing degrees beyond high school were given some additional financial help this year from the CPCF. The Foundation

awarded more than $250,000 in 2014. These funds were made available through the generosity of donors and fund distributions.

The scholarship program at the Community Foundation continues to grow and have impact.

A scholarship committee reviews and scores the applications, interviews the students and finally awards the scholarships.

The scholarship committee review team consists of Foundation board members and community volunteers.
