The Community Foundation of East Central Illinois (CFECI) aims to enhance the quality of life in the region it serves by strengthening the nonprofit sector. This is achieved through providing critical funding and support to empower local organizations to achieve their missions and goals effectively.
The grant program from CFECI is designed to bolster the nonprofit sector by offering financial assistance for capacity building and technical support. With grants of up to $5,000, nonprofit organizations in East Central Illinois have the opportunity to enhance various operational areas such as communications, data management, diversity, equity and inclusion, financial management, fundraising, governance, leadership, mission and strategy, program delivery, and program evaluation. This initiative aims at supporting projects like leadership development, planning activities, board development, improving internal operations, and technology upgrades among others. Each of these endeavors is targeted at amplifying the nonprofits' core systems and operations, thereby enabling them to serve their communities more effectively now and in the future. Applicants are also encouraged to explore training, consulting, and coaching services that align with their needs, for which CFECI offers resources to connect with local experts in nonprofit capacity building. A matching contribution of 10% from the applicant organization is required for the grant.
