About
The Heart of Illinois Community Foundation is where generous families, individuals, companies and nonprofits make charitable dollars go the furthest for the permanent good of our community.
We are a 501(c)(3) public charity comprised of more than 400 charitable funds created by people just like you. Those funds, and the gifts that started them, bear the mark of many donors, not just a select few, which differentiates us from a private foundation.
In short, we’re your homegrown community foundation.
