CIVIC CLUB OF LAKE FOREST PARK

What CIVIC CLUB OF LAKE FOREST PARK does

Civic Club of Lake Forest Park is a 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit incorporated on August 22, 1924, and headquartered at 17301 Beach Dr NE on the shores of Lake Washington in Lake Forest Park, Washington. The organization's stated purposes are to cultivate friendly relations among local residents, develop community spirit, promote welfare and betterment, and acquire and maintain property for community use. It serves the residents of Lake Forest Park and vicinity through membership-based community activities, clubhouse access, social events (e.g., Annual BBQ/Outdoor Movie Night, Bunco Night, board meetings), and shoreline recreation including a swim beach and boat launch.

The club's core products are its membership program, its clubhouse rental service (open to both members and non-members), and its ongoing shoreline facilities. The only underlying technology is the Wild Apricot membership software platform that powers the club's website (lfpcc.org) for membership administration and event listings; there are no proprietary technology products, no software-as-a-service offerings, and no digital products beyond a private Facebook member group. Member communication runs through this Facebook group and the club website.

The business and revenue model is straightforward: recurring membership dues form the primary stream, with clubhouse rental fees from members and non-members providing a secondary, episodic revenue source. Governance is via a Board of Directors with two-year terms, meeting monthly in the Clubhouse. The organization operates with 1–10 employees and is registered with the IRS under EIN 91-0833123. The June 2024 shoreline restoration project is the most recent material operational initiative, focused on preserving and modernizing the swim beach and boat launch rather than expanding scope.
