Faith. Family. Freedom.
At the beginning of the year, we unexpectedly learned that we would need to move the IFI office. So, while focusing on the mischief taking place in the legislative session in Springfield, planning two great events for the spring, and scheduling speaking engagements across the state, we found ourselves in the midst of an office search.
The good news is that the Illinois Family Institute has grown over the past few years, so we had outgrown the space we had enjoyed for the past 4 ½ years.
That said, this move has generated new, unbudgeted expenses, including moving costs, new equipment, technology set-up, some additional office furniture, and other new monthly overhead expenses. In short, our small budget is taking a hit.
Would you prayerfully consider helping us fund our operations, which include these unexpected expenses?
You know what we do here at IFI, and you know how hard we work to advance truth in the public square—despite the many naysayers on the Left. As our organization grows, our influence grows, and we are seeing the positive results from that influence. Continued growth requires adequate office space from which to do what we do best: advocate for faith, family, and freedom.
How can you help?
We are asking you to partner with us in our work by helping us with the daily costs of running Illinois’ only full-time pro-family organization—including the necessity of having an efficient work space. We are deeply thankful for any size contribution.
If you can pledge a monthly amount—no matter the size—it would be a huge blessing to us. Sustaining partners are an invaluable part of our team.
We can ill-afford to lose ground to anti-family Leftist organizations whose operating budgets are 10 to 20 times ours. IFI’s new office space will meet our operating needs, which will in turn help ensure that the IFI staff and volunteers are able to engage fully in the various battles. Would you prayerfully consider joining us to meet this need?
Illinois Family Institute is the only full-time organization in Illinois standing strong for Judeo-Christian values that you hold dear.
If these values truly are important to you—if these values reflect what you believe—then the Illinois Family Institute is here for you.
We strive to be a reliable resource for information on the issues that affect your family and your church. We advocate for you and your church on issues related to marriage, family, life, and liberty in Springfield and in the larger public square.
But we can only do this effectively when God’s people choose to partner with us.
Would you prayerfully consider a contribution to IFI today? A donation of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more would significantly help us to help you and your family by standing strong for our shared values.
You are what make this work possible. Your support is vital to our work. Your support helps ensure that biblical truth gets expressed in the mainstream press, in the halls of the rotunda, and in Congress.
As long as our shared foundational values continue to be assaulted, we will continue to need to stand together, united in belief and action.
Perhaps today you are able to help with a one-time investment. Maybe you are in a position to make a regular automatic monthly investment. Maybe your church would consider including IFI in its budget or would consider an annual gift.
Please, consider supporting our office needs and our work at this time, and thank you for partnering with us as we stand together for God’s truth in Illinois!

Together for our families and our freedom,
David E. Smith
Executive Director
P.S. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on marriage by the end of this month. Please continue to pray for truth to prevail. Pray that the justices understand God’s design for marriage and will decide on the side of truth and righteousness.
