LAKE AREA FOUNDATION

The Lake Area Foundation was officially formed in July 2012 with the approval of by-laws, followed by the creation of advisory committees in each of the 10 Lake Cumberland counties, and the creation of a regional board of directors. This group initiated something untried and untested in the Lake Cumberland region, a community foundation built on the simple concept of caring people pooling their resources to provide good things for current and future needs... We began operations in May 2012 and continue to grow our endowments in an effort to strengthen the communities of the ten counties that participate in the Lake Area Foundation. Our board is a cross-section of the communities' leaders, and our staff are local advocates who are honored to help make a difference... Our organization began with a simple idea: charitable giving should be easy, flexible and effective.
