Leave 5% in Lake!

In August 2018, the LCCF completed a Transfer of Wealth Report, in partnership with the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship/LOCUS. Here’s some of what we learned:

  • In the next 20 years, millions of dollars of wealth will transfer out of the Leadville/Lake County community as estates change hands to younger generations.
  • Keeping just 5% of that wealth in our community could mean over $3 million would remain in Lake County by 2028.
  • By 2038, this could mean as much as $7.5 million!

Just imagine the possibilities for this incredible place we call home if 5% of this wealth remains here. Click to download the Full Report.

Will you commit to Leave 5 in Lake by including the LCCF in your estate plan? Please contact the Lake County Community Fund for more information.
