BLACF Campaign for Philanthropy

In our Campaign for Philanthropy, we strive to build partners that help your Community Foundation strengthen this community. When you make a gift through our Campaign you support our operations, and in turn, are part of making the Brainerd Lakes Area an even better  place to live. 

As a result of the support of our board and other donors like you, we at the Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation are energized to continue  the success of past years while building community for years to come in the following manner:

• We provide a vehicle for local people to create their own charitable funds;
• We are your Lakes Proud Community Foundation. We spend local, and we grant in Crow Wing and Southern Cass Counties;   
• We help capture local wealth to continue to do good here forever, not somewhere far off; 
• We continue to build solid relationships with donors and area professionals;
• We partner with local leaders to address the severe workforce shortage our employers are experiencing, now and into the future; 
• We have made over $8.1 million in grants back to the communities we serve.

We invite you to support our Campaign for Philanthropy and help us in building, strengthening and maintaining the community foundation that we all helped build and the community we all love.
