Who we are
The FUNdation is dedicated to the development, implementation and funding of recreation, education and conservation programs within South Elgin. The FUNdation is an Illinois Not-For-Profit Corporation with 501C(3) tax exempt status.
The South Elgin Parks and Recreation Department recognizes there are youth in the community who are often unable to participate in recreation programs due to economic hardships. If any youth resident, ages infant to eighteen years old (still in high school), would like to apply for a scholarship, pick up a packet at the registration counter at Village Hall or call 847-622-0003 to have a packet emailed to you. All requests remain confidential. Please submit applications at least three weeks prior to the start of the program of interest. Donations for the Youth Scholarship are accepted throughout the year through the FUNdation, a 501c(3) organization. For more information, visit southelginfundation.com or call 847-622-0003.
