Historically, the Foundation has supported entities that provide services that help keep people in our geographic area healthy.  We continue to support organizations that provide these services. 

We accept applications from organizations working to improve the health of people in East Central Illinois. Requests will be evaluated on whether they accomplish one or more of the following:        

• Support the creativity of nonprofit organizations by seeding new projects and encouraging experimentation and innovation
• Support organizations demonstrating outstanding leadership in their field or community
• Promote the effectiveness of organizations and the nonprofit sector by supporting planning, learning and the professional development of staff and board leaders
• Facilitate collaboration across traditional organization or sector boundaries for community benefit
• Develop public understanding of issues and promote philanthropic support necessary to address issues of community importance. 

Example of past grantee that fit current guidelines:
Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center, $30,000, for the development of a business plan for the expansion of the Women & Children First Dental Program into a mobile oral health program for East Central Illinois.
