Gilmore Foundation

Gilmore Foundation ​“Peoria is a unique community and has great potential to grow if not in population in livability.

To the extent the Gilmore Foundation can enhance that possibility over the years it will serve the purposes for which it was intended…” The Gilmore Foundation is a private foundation established in 2009 which supports the development and improvement of the tri-county community — Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford counties. The Foundation’s areas of focus are: 1) enhancing culture related to art, music,

dance, history and theater, 2) improving society through youth development, human services, abuse prevention, education and shelters and 3) job creation through capital improvement projects which assist in the development of the community’s infrastructure.
