Professional Advisors Council


The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois serves as a Steward of Donor Intent!

We strive to honor the philanthropic wishes of:

  • Individuals and Families
  • Businesses
  • Private Foundations
  • Charitable Organizations

To achieve this, we work closely with financial planners, attorneys, bankers and life insurance representatives to help their clients develop a giving approach that matches personal interests and tax planning needs. We help integrate charitable giving into estate and financial plans and we can facilitate anonymous giving and assist with complex gift instruments.

We invite you to contact one of the experts on our Professional Advisors Council to assist you with your philanthropic goals.
