LCFS Foundation
Together we can impact lives today and make a stronger world for tomorrow.
The Mission of the LCFS Foundation is to identify, cultivate, secure, and manage major and estate gifts in order to advance the Human Care Ministries of Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois.
When you build a house, you have to lay a foundation – something solid and strong on which you can build so that the house won’t fall down. Gifts to the LCFS Foundation are cornerstone gifts that provide long-term stability – impacting the lives of children and families today and our ability to be adaptive and responsive to their needs in the future.
The LCFS Foundation’s EIN Number is 36-7276007.
For more information about a gift to the Foundation or how to leave a lasting legacy, contact LCFS Foundation President Cheryl Wendt at Cheryl_Wendt@lcfs.org.
