More in Philanthropy
Regular subjects here include corporate donations, foundation grant announcements, nonprofit fundraising drives, benefit events and charitable partnerships with businesses. Coverage reaches from the Chicago area to the downstate cities and the rural counties in between. Gifts to hospitals, universities and social service groups surface as often as community fundraisers do. Corporate giving tied to local employers is a recurring thread, since many of the state's largest donations come from the companies headquartered or operating here.
