Community Foundation of Central Illinois

The Community Foundation of Central Illinois connects people who care with causes that matter, helping make a lasting impact across our region. We serve as a trusted steward for our donors while distributing grants and scholarships that support a wide range of needs, including animal welfare, arts, children and youth, community improvement, education, health, human services, workforce development, and food insecurity. Through this work, we ensure charitable gifts are managed responsibly and directed where they can do the most good. With a deep understanding of local needs, we support communities within a 50-mile radius of Peoria, Illinois and help donors turn their charitable goals into meaningful action. Whether someone wants to support a specific cause or respond to emerging community needs, we make it easy to give in a way that is flexible, thoughtful, and impactful. At our core, we are here to bring people and purpose together to build a stronger, more vibrant community for today and for the future.
