2011 Annual Report

Intellectual and material gifts bring the privilege and responsibility of sharing with others less fortunate. —Marian Wright Edelman

2011 offered the Community Foundationof East Central Illinois a number of opportunities.Early in the year, we conducted a survey of nonprofit agencies in east central Illinois andfound that cash flow was their most urgent need. The lag in state funding puts considerablepressure on nonprofit agencies as they manage their budgets and try to prevent further cuts inprograms or staff.The general economy and the state of Illinois continue to present challenges for our nonprofitorganizations. While some have been able to adjust to significantly delayed payments, manyare now facing another round of funding cuts that will impact them as organizations anddirectly affect the people they employ and serve.To effectively respond to this need, the Community Foundation established a “Program-Related Investment Fund” with a $100,000 contribution from the Marajen Stevick Foundation,a supporting organization of the Community Foundation. The fund provides loans of up to$15,000 to agencies to bridge the gap between state funding and organizational expenses orto help them in other emergency situations. Qualifying nonprofit organizations can secure atwelve-month loan at a very low interest rate, in a short period of time.In early August, the Foundation moved to a new location—307 W. University Ave. inChampaign. This was significant because, in our 40 years of existence, this is the first time wetruly have our own home. The space is working very well for us and we are able to let othernonprofit organizations use our large conference room.As we reflect on the growth and work of the Community Foundation over the last 40 years, itis impressive to recognize how the Foundation, on behalf of the donors, has been instrumentalin providing about $11,000,000 in funding to enhance the lives of our neighbors and ourarea through the arts, education, community development, health and human services, theenvironment and people with disabilities. In addition, our commitment to working withnonprofit boards on board development, strategic planning and “best practices” helps makethem stronger organizations.We look forward to building on the vision of our founders and, with the help of our partnersin the private and nonprofit sectors, to serve the needs of east central Illinois.Tony Ackerman Joan DixonChair, Board of Trustees President & CEO
