For over 10 years, the Geneva Community Foundation has supported local groups and events with much needed funding, and allowed local recreation, arts, and culture to grow and thrive.
Our Mission
The Geneva Community Foundation Society (BL&DCFS) offers grants to organizations performing worthwhile projects to enhance the quality of life in the Lakes District.
The BL&DCF is a fund held by volunteer members of the community for the benefit of local recreation, arts, and culture organizations. It is a fund established through the generous donations of community members like you, and it is designed to give back to local groups for generations to come.
“We are proud of the growth of this community fund, and for the benefit that it brings to all the residents of the Lakes District.”
