Big Cormorant Lake Area Foundation
 
 

 

The Big Cormorant Lake Area Foundation is a fund of West Central Initiative, a 501(c)(3) non-profit regional foundation. The BCLAF is dedicated to protecting and preserving the diverse water and land resources of the lake for our enjoyment, as well as those who come after us.

Leaving One's Legacy

The Big Cormorant Area Foundation enables us to be good stewards of the natural resources, which benefits everyone, and becomes our legacy for future generations. Our gifts to the Fund are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the IRS.

What is the BCLAF? The BLCAF consists of a volunteer Board of two Big Cormorant Lake Association board members and three non-board members who own property on the lake. These five people form an Advisory Committee which makes recommendations to the Board of Directors of West Central Initiative concerning projects by the BCLAF, among other educational and promotional activities.

Who is West Central Initiative? West Central Initiative is a public foundation which brings people and resources together to maintain and enhance the viability of west central Minnesota. WCI provides the shelter of belonging to a very large, tax-exempt, non-profit organization, without incurring the expenses and avoiding the complications of being a "stand-alone" non-profit organization. It is cost- effective for the BCLAF to operate under the direction and guidance of a large, regional public foundation.

What are the BCLAF's Objectives? - Protect and preserve the diverse water and land resources of the area - To continually monitor environmental concerns
- To provide education on land and water stewardship
- To monitor water quality
- Enhance the quality of life for all
