A Gift to Annual Campaign Powers Community Change

Our Annual Campaign is underway, and it’s not too late to be part of the impact. A gift from you will benefit many local organizations through IPCF’s General Grants, supporting quality programs in education, health and wellness, and youth.

Through General Grants, IPCF invests in programs that address pressing community needs and deliver measurable impact. Each grant recipient is carefully selected by our grants committee based on community need, clear-cut goals and objectives, prudent budgetary planning, and reporting of results.

Thanks to generous community members like you, last year’s Annual Campaign raised nearly $31,000 to support nonprofits serving our region. With your continued support, we can do even more this year. This is especially important as many nonprofits are navigating increasingly tighter budget constraints. Your gift helps ensure these organizations can continue providing essential services and responding to emerging community needs.

We invite you to help us do even more in 2026 by making a tax-deductible gift to the Annual Campaign by Thursday, January 15, 2026. Make an online gift by clicking the button below, or contact the IPCF office at 309-662-4477 to discuss additional giving options, including gifts from your IRA and securities.

Thank You!
