Ways to Give
It’s easy to make a difference!
The Elm Grove Community Foundation (EGCF) offers a great way to make charitable gifts that will benefit the greater good within our wonderful Village.
Our Mission
The mission of the Elm Grove Community Foundation is to provide quality of life enhancements to the Village of Elm Grove through projects for which tax dollars are unavailable. The Elm Grove Community Foundation is a 501c non-profit organization that has a rich history of making our community stronger.
Your current gift today (yes, today… see below!), or your planned future gift through your will or trust, can assist the community and provide a lasting legacy for you or a loved one and benefit all present and future Village residents. In as little as one sentence, and with the assistance of your legal or financial advisor, you can complete a planned gift to the Foundation so that we can continue our mission for years to come.
