The extraordinary generosity of the Lake Forest Country Day school community has had a powerful impact on generations of families and students throughout our storied history. Thousands of alumni, alumni parents, parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends of the School have bolstered our academic, athletic, and arts programs with mission-critical philanthropic investments. Our School stands on the shoulders of these generous contributors whose gifts sustain our margin of excellence.

Last year, more than 2,300 donors supported 28 percent of the operating budget. Gifts of all sizes and provided $2.57 million in support of the Annual Fund, Auction, and Endowment. We are truly grateful and humbled by our community’s continued role in shaping the ongoing story of LFCDS.

On behalf of Lake Forest Country Day School, thank you for considering making a gift to the School this year in support of academic excellence. If you have any questions or would like more information on giving opportunities, please contact us at (847) 615-6121.
