Donors

Giving to  Illinois Prairie Community Foundation is one of the easiest ways you can be philanthropic and support our community.

 

The Community Foundation allows you to establish a fund that will be overseen within the larger foundation. Illinois Prairie Community Foundation is a tax-exempt, public charity managed by a small staff and board of directors who evaluate and assess emerging community needs and support donors who want to support and fulfill those needs.

We offer a variety of ways for you to give to the Community Foundation - all in an effort to improve our community. Please email us or call us at 309-662-4477 for more information about setting up your own fund.  

If you wish to give to one of the funds that Illinois Prairie Community Foundation oversees, please visit our Donate Now page for the ways to donate cash.
