New Fund
The
Fine Line
Creative Arts Center
The Fine
Line Creative Arts Center was created to promote public
awareness of the arts and their impact on our well being, to
support art experiences, and to nurture the creative spirit
within a comfortable, inspirational environment.
Currently
located in a restored barn on four acres in the St. Charles
countryside, The Fine Line opened its doors in September of
1979 as a small gallery on James Street in Geneva,
Illinois. Since that time, it has relocated twice and grown
to be one of only a few regional art centers in this
country.
Over
1,000 students participate in more than 200 class offerings
each year. Quality in artistic expression and the
support of a community of creative persons can be found in
this artistic oasis.
In 2007,
the organization established an endowment fund to provide a
permanent resource for its future charitable needs.

Your Community's Future

The Power
of Giving Together
Many of us are unaware
of our potential to be philan-thropists. With effective estate
planning, valuable resources that would be lost to taxation will remain
to serve the future of our heirs and our local communities.
New research
commissioned by the Alliance of Illinois Community Foundations and the
Donors Forum projects an unprecedented transfer of wealth from the World
War II generation to the baby boomers and then from the baby boomers to
the next generation.

A Golden
Opportunity
Transfer of Wealth
(graph of 50 year projections)
In 50 years, $1.35
trillion is expected to pass from one generation to the next in
Illinois. In just 10 years, $182.3 billion will have transferred.
National research
projects a $53 trillion transfer of wealth across the United States. But
while the average transfer nationwide will peak after 50 years, wealth
transfer in many Illinois counties will crest in twenty to thirty years.
In Kane and Kendall Counties, the greatest wealth transfer will likely
happen between the years of 2025 and 2035.
