FUNDS – Create a Fund

Why give through the Community Foundation? We offer permanence, expertise, convenience and flexibility. Starting a charitable fund at the Foundation is easy as 1-2-3.

  1. Contact Lisa Corrao at 815.201.3700 to discuss your charitable goals.
  2. To establish a named fund, make an initial contribution of at least $10,000
  3. Determine your charitable goals and fund purpose, name the fund and sign a two-page fund agreement.

Why You Should Choose the Community Foundation?

The Community Foundation administers charitable funds for individuals, corporations, area organizations, and for special community projects.  Many of these funds are “endowment funds” which are structured to serve their charitable purpose(s) in perpetuity.  Other funds are “pass-thru funds” which are temporary charitable vehicles that close upon the fulfillment of their purposes.  There are solid reasons why donors choose to entrust their charitable dollars with us.
