The Heart of Illinois Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to maximizing the impact of charitable contributions for the lasting benefit of our community. Through more than 400 charitable funds established by generous families, individuals, businesses, and nonprofits, we ensure that every gift reflects the collective vision of our donors rather than a select few, distinguishing us from private foundations.

By connecting philanthropy with community needs, we serve as a trusted, homegrown resource, helping donors make a meaningful and enduring difference in the lives of residents across our region.
