Once again, our incredible community has shown that Southern Illinois takes care of its own! ❤️

We are absolutely blown away by the overwhelming generosity shown across all 17 counties. Because of your kindness, donations, and endless support, over 100 local nonprofits can continue working to feed families, provide shelter, protect animals, and strengthen our neighborhoods.

Whether you gave $5 or $500, shared a post, or cheered on your favorite local cause—YOU made a lasting impact. You are the reason our region thrives, and we cannot thank you enough for making this year's campaign a massive success.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for your undeniable commitment to Southern Illinois! 🙏✨

We're calculating the final numbers - like last minute checks, Play It Forward benefits and Bonus Pool - working hard to get you the GiveSI 2026 Grand Total!

Nonprofits with GiveSI funds will be excited to learn that those will be available for pickup at the SICF Office starting at 11am on Tuesday, October 20th. Organizations with funds to pick up can expect to be contacted by email with more details.

At last count, we were just under our target... and we're excited to see if the final number pushes us past our goal of $400,000!!!

Stay tuned!! We'll make our big announcement on October 20th!
