Illinois Prairie Community Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Illinois Prairie Community Foundation (IPCF) is a community foundation that helps connect donors with those causes they wish to benefit.[1] It serves McLean, Livingston, DeWitt, Logan and adjacent areas of Tazewell, Woodford, LaSalle, Ford and Piatt counties.[2][3][4] The IPCF is in full compliance with the national standards developed by the Council on Foundations.[5] It facilitates charitable giving for individuals and businesses, helps organizations with their endowment funds, and serves as a fiscal agent for charitable community projects.[6] A donor-advised fund at the Community Foundation is an economical and simplified version of a private foundation.[7]
Support is provided in the fields of human services, education, environment, economic development, arts and culture, and health, among others.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
The foundation celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2009.[14]
