About Us
Our Story
From a vision to a movement — the Mike Page Foundation is dedicated to uplifting communities through real action.
The Mike Page Foundation was born from a simple belief: when you see people hurting, you help. Founded by Mike Page — a lifelong musician, producer, and community leader — MPF started as grassroots outreach in Elgin, IL.
What began as turkey dinners for families in need and clothing drives at local parks has grown into a full-scale nonprofit with 8 active programs, an annual festival drawing 5,000+ people, and a 501(c)(3) public charity designation from the IRS.
Our flagship event, Love on the Lawn Day, has become the premier community festival in the area — growing from 525 attendees in 2022 to over 5,400 in 2024, with 10,000+ expected for 2026. National headliners including Kid Capri, Musiq Soulchild, Bobby V, and Lenny Williams have graced the stage.
Every program is self-funded. Every dollar is accounted for. We do this because our community deserves it.

Self-Funded Integrity
Everything we've built has been entirely self-funded. No grants. No outside investors. No corporate sponsors. Just our team investing directly into our community.
