Communityworks Endowment Fund (Community Foundation Serving West Central Illinois & Northeast Missouri)

Fact (page-stated): the Communityworks Endowment Fund supports '501(c)(3) organizations or units of government that advances workforce development, childcare, and early childhood education in Adams, Brown, Hancock, and Pike Counties, IL'. Fact: programs must focus on workforce development and/or early childhood education (including child care). Fact: priority goes to new or expanded and innovative efforts; high-impact programs or projects (not operations) benefiting a significant number of individuals or families; programs that increase the pool of educated professionals or skilled workers; programs that strengthen the quantity and quality of child care settings; and programs that reduce barriers for individuals to enter and remain in the workforce. Fact: applications and awards are both ongoing, so there is no fixed deadline.
