What Does My Community Foundation Do?

What We Do

The Community Foundation Serving West Central Illinois & Northeast Missouri connects people who care with causes that matter for here, for good, forever.

We work with donors, nonprofits, and community leaders to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. We accomplish this by building permanent charitable funds that benefit our communities today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

Gather:

We work with individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits to create tailor-made funds that help them make their charitable visions a reality. Donors can trust that the Community Foundation will act as a steward of those funds, ensuring funds are used according to their intent and vision.

Grow:

Together with a team of trusted, local advisors, we invest funds to build endowments so they are available to support ever-changing needs and opportunities in the 12 counties we serve.

Grant:

Based on our donors’ intentions and goals, we invest in our region to make our communities great places to live, work, and play.

Whatever your charitable vision, we can help make it reality – whether that’s creating a named fund to build a legacy or giving in a way that secures your anonymity. By establishing a fund or giving to an existing one, you make a difference in your community.

We’re here to help – for good.
