About the Illinois Conservation Foundation
The concept of the non-profit Illinois Conservation Foundation (ICF) comes from a recommendation of Illinois' first Conservation Congress, a volunteer group representing citizens from throughout the state. Since then, the ICF, established by law in 1994, has raised more than $30 million in support of natural resourses conservation and education. The ICF is governed by a 13-member Board of Directors appointed by the Governor and four legislative leaders, and chaired by the Director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The role of the Illinois Conservation Foundation and its partners is to preserve and enhance our precious natural resources by supporting and fostering ecological, educational, and recreational programs for the benefit of all citizens of Illinois and for future generations to come.
