Residents of Altona, both current and former, have an ambitious goal to raise $250,000 to renovate the second floor of their town’s library to create a space for local artifact preservation and community use.

Galesburg Community Foundation will begin accepting scholarship applications on Monday, February 1, 2021.

Local individuals and foundations generously donated a total of $40,000 to take full advantage of a $20,000 match grant from Arts Alliance Illinois and the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund (AIRF) to provide emergency operating support to local arts organizations.

To date, the Rapid Response Fund has issued a total of $224,450 to nonprofits serving Knox and Warren Counties. Contributions to the Rapid Response Fund have reached $347,000.

Donations of any size may be made to the All In For the Arts Fund at Galesburg Community Foundation and will be matched 2:1 up to $20,000 if $40,000 is raised locally.
