The La Porte County Park Foundation
The La Porte County Park Foundation was organized and incorporated in 1990 as a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation. The Foundation is positioned to accept gifts and bequests which may be held for transfer to the La Porte County Parks Department until the time when they can be used to their greatest advantage.
Give back to nature through the gift of Land or Cash; or by naming the La Porte County Park Foundation in your Will, Trust, Insurance Policies and/or IRAs.
