The Village Board of Trustees established the Libertyville Foundation as a means for providing a charitable arm for residents and investors. This 501(c)(3) organization has a separately appointed Board of Trustees and accepts donations on behalf of the Village of Libertyville.

Success

Since its inception in December of 2005, the Foundation has donated funds for life-saving equipment in the police and fire departments, landscaping improvements, memorial trees and benches, and undesignated gifts. The Foundation has identified numerous community needs which could benefit from individual or matching monetary contributions.

Currently, the most utilized form of giving is memorial trees and benches. These gifts provide not only a celebratory recognition of lives and legacies, they also contribute beauty and enjoyment to our local parks.
