Special Interest Funds
LCCF is currently developing these special interest funds. Money donated will be used on as-needed basis. For example,

LCCF Scholarship Fund:

LCCF Environmental Fund:
In development. Money would go towards environmental needs around the lake. For example, purchasing land to be maintained as a “green space” for future generations.
General Fund
LCCF, founded in 2024, is in its infancy. Donations to this fund will help pay for non-profit set-up fees, new account fees (PO Box, financial software), website management, logo design, marketing & promotion. While these activities are not as sexy as specific projects, they are necessary to managing the non-profit. LCCF does not employ anyone. All work for LCCF is done by volunteers who receive no compensation for their time.
