ABOUT THE FUND
The Illinois Area YMCA (aka Illinois Area Fund) is an endowment fund that benefits local YMCA staff and volunteers in Illinois and Indiana. Several donors have contributed to the endowment which has grown through investment over the years. Since the fund’s inception, hundreds of Y staff and volunteers have benefited from the fund through scholarships and training fee assistance from providing assistance for completing a baccalaureate degree to attending a Y certification course to sending a staff member overseas to work with youth.
The fund also provides resources for on-going training and education for staff and volunteers through meetings, workshops and statwide gatherings.
YOUR GIFT
OUR FUTURE
The Illinois Area Fund welcomes contributions to its endowment. All gifts help the IL Ys continue to strengthen the foundations of communities across Illinois. The endowment’s principal remains intact while the earned income is distributed in full or part to support the work of YMCAs in IL and IN. In this way, the endowment’s assets grow through appreciation and some interest is distributed for annual use.
