3. the vision
Private Foundations
A growing number of local, regional, and national
foundations and organizations offer support and
assistance to help provide capital costs and other resources
in support of projects and initiatives such as the Lake
Ellyn Park master plan. An essential component of the
implementation strategy is the presentation and exposure
of the master plan and to align elements of the plan with
the vision and purpose of these organizations to the
degree practical.

LEED Certification. Design grants can be awarded in the

have no limits. Educational development and outreach is
