It’s National Estate Planning Awareness Week, a good time to finally cross “write a will” off your list. ✍️

IPCF has partnered with Giving Docs to give you free access to a secure online tool for creating your will, healthcare directive, and more. Taking this step helps protect the people you love, puts your wishes in writing, and gives you a chance to think about the legacy you want to leave for your family and the community you call home.

Last week, our team packed up and headed to Wichita, Kansas for the Annual National Conference for Growing Community Foundations! 🌻

Hosted by KACF, it brought together leaders and innovators from across the country all focused on helping community foundations like ours grow. We had so much fun connecting with other teams, sharing ideas, and leaving with a notebook full of takeaways to bring home.

What an incredible opportunity to spend a week learning alongside others who care about community philanthropy as much as we do. We’re so grateful! ⭐

There’s only one day left to go see Prairie Pride Coalition’s LGBTQ Legacy Wall at the McLean County Arts Center! 🏳️‍🌈

This traveling exhibit shares the stories of more than 125 LGBTQ+ people throughout history, from Jane Addams to Sally Ride to Leonardo da Vinci, in celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month. We are proud to have supported this project with a grant alongside the Town of Normal Harmon Arts Grant. It’s truly so special to see a local project become something the whole community can walk in and experience!

Stop by tomorrow, Oct. 17, during the Arts Center's regular hours. It’s one you won’t want to miss!

Congrats to Camp Hope Foundation, one of our 2026 General Grant recipients, for their Year-Round Family Support program! 🌈

When a child is diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder, the whole family’s world changes. Camp Hope makes sure no family walks that road alone, with monthly support gatherings and therapeutic programming for families in treatment and those navigating loss. It’s connection, coping, and a community that understands.

We’re so grateful for the care Camp Hope brings to families across our region, and honored to stand behind them.

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for our Women to Women Fall Forum! 🍂

We had a wonderful turnout at the ISU Alumni Center for an honest conversation about the loneliness epidemic. Thank you to our wonderful speakers Dan Lannin, Jerey McKinney, Alicia Wodika, and Krystle Able. We are so grateful for the time and knowledge you shared with our community.

It was a great reminder that when we show up for each other, we can start to tackle even the biggest topics together. We're so glad you were part of it! 💛

Farmers and landowners, this one's for you! 🌽

What if your harvest could give back before it ever reaches the elevator? With a gift of grain, you can give the grain itself instead of the cash from selling it. Same generosity, simpler path, and a team that handles the rest!

Ready to chat? Call Mady, our Development Director, at 309-662-4477. We're your home for charitable giving!

Happy DAF Day! 🎉

A donor-advised fund is like a giving account for the causes you care about. You set it up, choose where the grants go, and we handle the details so your generosity is easy and lasts forever. To everyone who has a DAF with IPCF, thank you! Your generosity is behind so much of the good happening in our community, and we're grateful you chose to give through us.

Curious about charitable giving or if a DAF is right for you? Give us a call at 309-662-4477, we're always happy to chat and answer your questions!
