Community Foundation to Honor Supporting Partners

Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation is hosting a reception to honor those donors, known as Supporting Partners, who have committed to five-year pledges to support its operating fund. The “Good Grows Here” donor appreciation event will be held on Tuesday, November 13 from 4:30-6:00 p.m. at the Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation office (2701 South Banker, Suite 102A, Effingham). A special donor recognition wall, which prominently highlights each Supporting Partner, will be unveiled during the program.
