Our communities are forever changing. Providing our region with resources to adapt and respond is vital to its success. That’s why gifts to the Galesburg Community Foundation Impact Fund are powerful—they provide flexibility that enables us to seize opportunities to meet the demands and challenges of today’s rapidly changing environment.
The Impact Fund lets everyone support immediate, ongoing, and emerging community needs. Through our annual grant cycle, the Turnout, gifts made to the Impact Fund, along with Donor Advised Fund Support, we are able to fully fund the accepted grant proposals, giving our nonprofit organizations the resources they need to address current community issues.
