Park Lawn

What Park Lawn does

Park Lawn is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1955 that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Its core programs consist of three coordinated service lines: Community Day Services (with sub-programs Choice, Discover, Connections, and Grace operating weekday hours from 8:30am to 3:00pm), Home-Based Services providing in-home support, and Residential Services under the Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) framework offering 24-hour care. The organization currently houses approximately 95 residents annually and provides services to 450 families per year, with over 20,000 individuals served cumulatively since inception. Park Lawn holds national accreditation and operates renovated facilities described as uniquely suited to participant needs.

The organization is funded through a blended revenue model combining individual donations solicited via its website, recurring fundraising events (raffles including Crown the King, Queen of Hearts, Summer Blast, Winter Blast; bingo nights; and the annual Turning the Page Gala), and government-backed service contracts under Illinois' CILA program and state Medicaid waivers. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is facility-based and in-person at 10833 S. LaPorte, Oak Lawn, IL. Customer acquisition relies on community-led outreach, family referrals, social services referrals, and word-of-mouth within the local disability services ecosystem rather than paid marketing. The organization maintains an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and an email newsletter for donor and community engagement. No management team roster, financial disclosures, M&A activity, or external investment are disclosed in available materials.
