At the Heart of Giving Podcast

Every gift has a story. Thank you for being part of ours.

At the Heart of Giving is a podcast from the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation featuring conversations with the donors, fundholders, and community leaders whose generosity is helping shape the future of our region.

Through these personal stories, listeners will discover the inspiration behind charitable giving, the causes that matter most to our donors, and the lasting impact that philanthropy creates across Macon, Moultrie, and Piatt counties.

Whether they are establishing a family legacy, supporting a favorite nonprofit, investing in scholarships, or creating permanent endowments, our guests demonstrate the many ways individuals can make a difference in the communities they love.

We invite you to listen, be inspired, and discover what is truly at the heart of giving.
