Making a financial gift to Illinois Action for Children supports ongoing, vital programs, advocacy, and research to build strong families and powerful communities where children matter most.
We envision a future where everyone can thrive—and your generosity helps us make this vision a reality.
We integrate programs, advocacy, and research to ensure every child in Illinois can access and benefit from a strong foundation and high-quality education.
That’s what drives our work providing families, educators, and communities with the knowledge, resources, and opportunities to reach their potential.
THANK YOU! Your gift is lighting the way forward to a better tomorrow for us all.

A gift of stock entitles you to a tax deduction for the market value of the donated stock. Avoid capital gains tax by donating stock prior to sale. Illinois Action for Children benefits by selling the stock without paying taxes on the gain, and you make a more significant impact in the lives of Illinois’ children and families.
Creating a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows for managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, family, or individual and provides an easy, inexpensive method of giving.
Make your impact last all year by becoming a monthly donor—It’s one of the best ways to ensure every child in Illinois has a high-quality early childhood foundation.
Show appreciation, celebrate an event, or honor a loved one’s memory. Check “Dedicate my donation in honor or in memory of someone” under the gift amount and follow the prompts to make a meaningful tribute gift. When life events occur, instead of accepting flowers or gifts, request donations to IAFC.
