So many tough needs.  One easy way to help.  Right here in Park Ridge.

Since 1958, PRCF has been the easiest way to help neighbors of all ages and with a wide array of critical needs, right here at home. PRCF is here to assess the needs of our community, and then raise and allocate funds to help meet those needs. 

Volunteers - who live, work or were raised in Park Ridge - control all aspects of PRCF's activities.

With one convenient gift to PRCF, you help over two dozen service organizations and care providers make life better, neighbor to neighbor.

 

The Park Ridge Community Fund has been working hard to improve the quality of life in our community since 1958. Volunteers, people who live, work or were raised in Park Ridge, control all aspects of the Park Ridge Community Fund, including fundraising, the assessment and determination of community needs, the distribution of funds and the monitoring of their use.
