Welcome to the Allen Bass Fund

The Allen Bass Fund is a non-profit organization formed
in 1987 by a group of dedicated volunteers who recognized
the need to support the campers and facilities of
Camp Bil-O-Wood, a traditional summer camp located
near Blind River, Ontario, Canada, about 90 miles east
of Sault Ste. Marie. This modest organization has grown
to support Bil-O-Wood and provide scholarships to
campers in need.

The Allen Bass Fund is an independent charitable corporation,
incorporated in the State of Illinois, U.S.A. It is not
connected to Camp Bil-O-Wood in any legal manner. The
fund is governed by a voluntary board of directors. No
staff members or owners of Camp Bil-O-Wood serve
on the Allen Bass board.

The Allen Bass board invites you to explore this web site and
learn more about the Allen Bass Fund and its mission. Links to
the rest of the web site are listed above (Projects, Scholarships, etc.).

We can only help the campers at Bil-O-Wood with your generosity. Your tax-deductible gift to the Allen Bass
Fund will help us achieve our goals. The broad support we have received from the over 5,000 alumni of Camp
Bil-O-Wood has been overwhelming. We also receive generous support from the parents and grandparents of
current and past campers. Your support with a gift of any amount would be greatly appreciated. We are now
able to accept gifts of stock. Please contact us for more information. Thank you!
