Yes! Friends of Bourbonnais Township Park District is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. You will receive a receipt for your contribution that you can use for tax purposes.
While we work closely together, Friends of the Bourbonnais Township Park District is a separate nonprofit organization established to accept donations and raise funds for projects and programs that enhance what the park district can offer. The park district is a government entity funded primarily through tax revenue, while this foundation relies entirely on charitable contributions from community members like you.
Your donation directly supports scholarship programs for families who need financial assistance, capital improvements to park facilities and equipment, and special programs and events that might not otherwise be possible through the park district's regular budget. Our board works closely with park district leadership to identify the areas of greatest need.
