Carly Eversole Joins Heart of Illinois Community Foundation

Please join us in welcoming Carly Eversole to the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation as our new Office Manager.

Carly supports the daily operations, donor services, and administrative systems that make local philanthropy possible across Macon, Moultrie, and Piatt counties. From stewarding gifts with accuracy and care to ensuring our nonprofit partners are supported efficiently, her work helps our Foundation operate with excellence and integrity every single day.

A proud Decatur native and Eisenhower High School graduate, Carly earned her Associate of Arts degree from Richland Community College and her Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She brings valuable experience from the Macon-Piatt Special Education District and Hope Academy, where she worked in service-focused environments supporting educators, students, and families. That background strengthened her appreciation for those who invest in future generations and deepened her belief in systems that uplift communities.

At HICF, Carly is part of the behind-the-scenes team that connects donor generosity to meaningful impact. Her organizational strength, positive spirit, and commitment to service make her a wonderful addition to our mission.

Outside the office, Carly has been a dance instructor at Studio B Legacy since 2010, mentoring young people through creativity and discipline in the arts. She and her husband enjoy spending time outdoors with their daughter and staying closely connected to family and friends.
