CFNIL Fund Advisors
At the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, the term "Fund Advisors" refers to people who receive communication about and, in some cases, make recommendations on behalf of a fund established at CFNIL. Fund Advisors receive quarterly reporting on their funds, including:
- Fund statements
- A letter from the Foundation president with updates about CFNIL activities and operations,
- A Stewardship Summary which includes up-to-date information about CFNIL's investment performance
Fund Advisors may elect to receive this information in paper format via the mail and/or via an online portal. The online portal also provides access to these documents and other fund management features such as recommending grants from a Donor Advised Fund, anytime.
Use the link below to access the login page for the portal and follow one of these steps:

Alerts and Paper Statements: Opting In or Out
Each quarter, you will receive an email alert when a new statement is posted and ready to view in the portal. You also have the option to receive an email alert every time a Donation is made or a Grant is paid out from your Fund. These alerts can be utilized or canceled at any point but are not retroactive, so you will not be notified of past grants or donations. By default, Fund Advisors will continue to receive paper statements by mail unless you notify CFNIL of your desire to stop receiving paper statements. To opt in or out of Alerts or paper statements, please contact Ciara at 779-210-8203 or cstahly@cfnil.org
