Open to 501(c)(3) nonprofits providing charitable services to Boone, Ogle, Stephenson, and Winnebago counties in northern Illinois.

The Community Opportunities Grant Program was created by CFNIL’s Board of Trustees to provide the Foundation with flexible funding to respond to emerging opportunities and unforeseen crises. 

Typically $30,000 is allocated per fiscal year for this program and funds are available until depleted. Because the funds available are limited, the criteria are very specific.

Organizations considering applying should first contact Lisa DeLang at edelang@cfnil.org or (779) 210-8210 to discuss their proposal.
