The Foundation
The Impastato Academies Foundation
David and Melanie Impastato believe it is important to provide support to local communities in Illinois and Florida. In 2018 they created a 14-acre golf facility on the Mooseheart Child City campus to provide recreational activities for it’s residents and a seasonal outdoor Learning Center for Academy students. In the future, The Academy Learning Center at Mooseheart will be a platform to develop Foundation programs.
Mooseheart Child City was dedicated in July 1913 by the Moose Fraternal Organization as a residential childcare facility on a 1,000-acre campus 38 miles west of Chicago. Mooseheart cares for youth whose families are unable to care for them. Child City is home to more than
250 children in need, from infancy through high school.
