Your gift to the CommunityWORKS endowment will be matched by the Grand Victoria Foundation. This is a rare opportunity for our community - with each local dollar our residents raise for this permanent endowment, Grand Victoria Foundation will give our community a dollar in return - it's that simple!
The Grand Victoria Foundation is working with 17 community foundations throughout the state of Illinois - View the CommunityWORKS website.
