Investing in Your Community
No matter how much your organization or employees choose to invest in the Heart of Illinois United Way your organization becomes a part of a community-wide effort to promote positive outcomes for children, families, adults, and seniors in need.
Donations to the Heart of Illinois United Way Community Impact Fund stay in central Illinois to support vital programs in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, Stark, Marshall, and Putnam counties.
While donations to our Community Impact Fund are tracked and strategically invested back into the community’s most critical needs, we also honor a donor’s choice to direct their charitable gifts.
The Heart of Illinois United Way’s fundraising and administration expenses are less than half the national average reported by other charities because our volunteers are one of our organization’s most powerful forms of philanthropy.
