Decide to Give
To continue supporting community projects the Foundation needs donations from area individuals, businesses, and memorials. Follow in the footsteps of other Edgerton area benefactors and make your generous tax deductible donation today. If a gift of $5000 or more is given to the Foundation, the donor may direct the donation to an activity or particular area of interest. Note, however, that all grants are unrestricted and the non-profit is not bound by the recommendations. All other gifts will be distributed by the Foundation to areas and projects it will most benefit.
The stated purpose of the EAF is to benefit the community by investing in better recreational facilities, aiding worthwhile public programs, assisting with property beautification projects, and improving public health.
There are may ways to give including an outright gift, annual donations, or naming EAF in your estate plan.

The Edgerton Local School's Capital Campaign
In 2018 Edgerton Local Schools and the Edgerton Area Foundation established a relationship in order to provide the alumni, community members, and industry leaders an opportunity to give back to the local school district. The program became known as the Capital Campaign and targeted three primary renovation needs of the school district: the track and field discus pit, track resurfacing, and building a new press box on the home side of the football stadium.
We’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of our Capital Campaign project! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, donors, and supporters, we have officially completed this milestone project. From start to finish, this effort has been a true labor of love, with every dollar raised helping us bring much-needed improvements and opportunities to the Edgerton Local School's athletic complex.
Thank you for believing in this vision and making it a reality. We can’t wait to see the positive impact this project will have for years to come!
