Our Mission: Support and empower local Naperville non-profit organizations and causes through funding and manpower to help them fulfill their missions.
The F3 Naperville Foundation (“F3NF”) is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible. Our organization partners with local groups and organizations that are out there servicing our communities. We seek to support and empower these partners, through both funding and manpower, to help them fulfill their missions.
- The manpower is the easy part. Over 1,000 men have made their way to F3 Naperville at one point or another and many are willing and able to donate their time and energy to help clean up a local park, stock shelves at a food pantry, deliver food to the homebound, among other opportunities.
- The funding can often be the trickier part, however the F3 Naperville Foundation has been blessed by the continued generosity of its roster and greater community support. Donations come in all shapes and sizes. Some are one-time donations and some come through Special Events that F3 Naperville hosts to drive awareness and donations towards a specific endeavor. As we are able to raise funds through donations we look to quickly distribute directly to organizations with a local presence to help fund general operating expenses, new and existing projects, and special programs they determine necessary to support their audience.
