Galesburg Community Foundation



Established in 2004, as the Galesburg Community and Health Foundation, and on September 1, 2007, we became the Galesburg Community Foundation.


Galesburg Community Foundation is a collection of funds and resources that supports the efforts of local people and organization to foster and promote a healthy community.
