Be Our Partner...	GRANTS Special Initiatives The overarching theme of our extensive work in education. In the summer of 2008, Legacy Foundation, Lake County’s Community Foundation, launched a strategic planning process to examine its work and value to the community. Our aim was to produce a plan that was clear and focused. Our Board believed in remaining mindful of our traditional role as a community foundation encouraging charitable giving to benefit Lake County and at the same time they believed in the Foundation’s ability to embrace a strategic direction with a portion of our unrestricted resources. If a strategic direction were to be embraced it needed to address a pressing issue in Lake County. We have made the educational attainment of our youth an area of focus. As we witness the disproportionate graduation rates within our high schools, we feel inspired to address this issue with a sense of urgency, thus the creation of our educational initiative “Project 100%”, the overarching theme of our extensive work in education. We at Legacy Foundation believe 100% of all Lake County youth deserve the equal opportunity of graduating with a quality high school credential. If you support this vision and would like to partner with Legacy Foundation to address the improvement of opportunities for our youth, please contact Nancy Johnson, President, at 2193736.1880 or njohnson@legacyfoundationlakeco.org. Legacy Foundation is committed to carefully stewarding our resources and your charitable gifts to maximize their impact. Shaping a Better Future Are You Ready for the Future? Diddly Squat!
