Making Philanthropy Simple

Our goal is to make philanthropy as simple as possible, whether you’d like to donate now or make a planned gift. We offer a variety of ways to forever create a positive impact in your community. Let us hear about what you’re passionate about so that we can develop a plan that works best for you.

“People can get overwhelmed by the thought of doing something significant and so they never get it done. The Community Foundation is a great way to get expertise, gain knowledge about your options, and make a plan so you can achieve your charitable goals and be purposeful in your giving.”

– David Erickson, Galesburg Community Foundation Board Chair

THE POWER OF ENDOWMENT

When you create or invest in an existing endowment fund, you’re ensuring the causes you care about will have the ability to address whatever needs arise in the future. And while those needs may change, the importance of addressing them remains constant.

TRANSFER OF WEALTH

Over the next 10 years, $2.1 billion will be transferred from one generation to the next in Knox and Warren Counties. What if some of that money, even a fraction, stayed in our rural communities like Knoxville, Roseville, Williamsfield, Monmouth or Alexis—right in your communities where your wealth was built?
