In {{CF}}, donating to the '''town fund''' can be done by going to the [[Town Hall]] and talking to either [[Pelly]] or [[Phyllis]] at the window for the '''Civic Center''', and selecting ''town fund'' from the list of options. Donating to the town fund achieves a new bridge, fountain, and a windmill or lighthouse. The town fund works similarly to [[Boondox]] donations in {{WW}}, and the [[object]] and [[public works project]] features in {{DnMe+}} and {{NL}} respectively.

The '''town fund''' is a feature in {{CF}} that the player can donate [[Bell]]s to to have structures built in [[town]]. It can be donated to at the civic center at [[town hall]].
  
Donations to the town fund are not cumulative, meaning any Bells donated in excess (e.g. should the player donate 210,000 Bells at once for the bridge) will be lost and will not be put forward to the next attraction (e.g. 10,000 Bells will be lost).

Once the [[player]] has donated 200,000 Bells to the town fund, there will be a notice on the [[Bulletin Board]] the next day asking residents to vote on the location of the new bridge to be built. Pelly or Phyllis will ask the [[player]] which location they wish for the bridge to be placed using locations circled on the [[town map]] she shows to them. There will be either two or three choices given, and they may be very close to existing bridges. This is done once the player has clicked 'Town Fund' (Labeled 'My Account' when [[Phyllis]] is working) when talking to either one of them in the Civic Center window. The location voted for may not win the majority of votes, so the player should not feel discouraged if the bridge is built in an area they feel is not right. Pelly and Phyllis will mention it is in the process of being built when they are talked to.

Once donating a further 1,000,000 Bells to the town fund, a windmill '''OR''' lighthouse will be built, depending on which one wins enough votes by the town people. Either of the two appear by the shoreline, on noticeable peninsulas in the land.

If the player wishes to switch the Lighthouse for a Windmill or vice versa, donating another 1,000,000 Bells to the town fund allows this option unlimited times with the usual price and day stipulations each time.

The player donating to the town fund

The town fund is a feature in Animal Crossing: City Folk that the player can donate Bells to to have structures built in town. It can be donated to at the civic center at town hall.

Donating to the town fund results in the creation of a new bridge, a fountain, and or lighthouse or windmill. Donations are not cumulative, so any Bells donated in excess are lost and are not put toward the next structure.

Bridge

The player standing on a bridge

When the player donates 200,000 Bells to the town fund, a bulletin board message announcing the building of a new bridge is posted the next day. If the player selects the "Town fund!" option at town hall, they can vote between three preset locations for the bridge to be built at. All players in town can vote, and the location with the most votes after seven days is where the bridge is built.

Tortimer walks near the bridge on the day it is built. When spoken to, he says:

"Good news, <Player>! Our new bridge is finally finished! And today's the opening ceremony! However, since we spent all our funds on the bridge, we have none left over for a proper celebration. So, we'll just have to use our imaginations and pretend there are balloons and streamers and such. But giddy laughter is free, so please—drink deep from that well! Like so. Heh heh heh HORF HORF!"

Fountain

When the player donates an additional 400,000 Bells, Pelly or Phyllis will tell them the next day that a fountain is being built if they select the "Town fund!" option at town hall. After seven days, the fountain is built in front of the bus stop.

Tortimer walks near the fountain on the day it is built. When spoken to, he says:

"You DO know you can't drink the water in the fountain, don't you, sprout?"
"Throw a coin in the fountain, <Player>! We could use the revenue! Heh heh horf!"'
"<Town> sure has seen a lot of improvements since I first became mayor. Never let it be said that Tortimer ignores the little guy!"

Lighthouse or windmill

The lighthouse, with Tortimer standing nearby

When the player donates an additional 1,000,000 Bells to the town fund, a bulletin board message announcing the building of either a lighthouse or windmill is posted the next day. If the player selects the "Town fund!" option at town hall, they can vote to build either the lighthouse or windmill. All players in town can vote, and the structure with the most votes after seven days is built near the shoreline.

Tortimer walks near the lighthouse or windmill on the day it is built. When spoken to, he says:

"That lighthouse doesn't just light the coast for ships. It also lights up the hearts of the people of <Town>. Or something like that." (lighthouse)
"Let's hope it revitalizes our dear <Town>!" (lighthouse)

If the player donates another 1,000,000 Bells, they can switch to the structure that was not built, and it replaces it after seven days.
