Help Us Finish What We Started


For 91 years, the Lake Forest Caucus has served as a cornerstone of our community - volunteer-led, non-partisan, and dedicated to ensuring qualified residents serve as our city’s elected officials, and members of our boards and commissions. Our continued success is the direct result of intentional effort and strong community support.


Each year the Caucus requires approximately $30,000 to cover essential operating costs such as ward mailings, ballots, website maintenance, and insurance. This operating budget remains fully dedicated to the ongoing and normal work of the Caucus, which must continue uninterrupted.


Presently, we are seeking to raise an additional $20,000 to support a critical initiative: the review and modernization of our bylaws and the implementation of alternative voting methods. This effort goes well beyond legal counsel. It also includes community education and engagement - ensuring residents understand the proposed updates, why they matter, and how they will strengthen the Caucus for the future. Because the changes require a two-thirds majority vote to pass, building broad awareness and support is vital to this effort’s success.


We’re committed to completing this important work, but without the additional funding our timeline may be delayed. We are vigorously working to complete this project by summer’s end so that a vote can occur at the Annual Meeting in mid-October.


Please consider making a donation today to help us complete this important initiative. We need to raise these additional funds by June 1, 2025. Together, we can ensure the Caucus remains a vital part of Lake Forest’s future.



To contribute, you can donate online or send a check payable to “Lake Forest Caucus” at:

736 N. Western Ave, Suite 256, Lake Forest, IL 60045

Please note: Contributions are reported to the Illinois State Board of Elections and are not tax-deductible. If you have any questions about giving, we encourage you to reach out.


Thank you for your support.
