Transparency:
Building Trust, Step by Step
At Keep Lake Como Beautiful (KLCB), we understand that transparency is the foundation of trust. While we are still in the early stages of establishing our funding sources, sponsorships, and donor base, we are committed to keeping the community informed about how your future support will drive meaningful change.
Since our launch, KLCB has been powered by the passion, dedication, and personal contributions of our Program Director, Shavina "Miss Peacock" Taylor. Every initiative, event, and program has been funded directly from her household budget as we lay the foundation for a stronger, safer, more connected Lake Como.
Join us in building a more transparent and sustainable future for our community.
Your generosity can help us take KLCB to the next level.
