The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln aims to foster philanthropy and strengthen communities in the central Illinois area by encouraging and managing donor contributions. It focuses on serving the counties of Sangamon, Cass, Christian, Logan, Macoupin, Menard, Montgomery, and Morgan through a variety of grantmaking programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of these communities.
The Access to Recreation Endowment Fund, established with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, seeks to eliminate barriers to recreation for people with disabilities in Sangamon County. The grant supports nonprofit organizations that offer adaptive sports, games, programs, and capital projects specifically designed for individuals with sensory disabilities, physical and mobility impairments, cognitive and developmental disabilities, and emotional and psychological disorders. The goal is to ensure accessible recreation is available, granting individuals with disabilities opportunities for participation in both outdoor and indoor activities.
