Dear Friends of Illinois Family Institute,
As we prepare for our January Board Meeting, I want to share a few important updates and encouragements with you, our valued ministry partners.
God has been gracious to IFI in many ways this year. One remarkable blessing is a $150,000 year-end matching grant recently secured from a group of amazing donors—praise God! This means that every gift given before December 31 will have double the impact in defending faith, family, and freedom here in Illinois.
Our board and staff are working diligently to steward IFI’s resources and strengthen our efforts heading into the new year. Among the key priorities:
- Expanding our outreach to churches, families, and Christian schools
- Advancing strong biblical advocacy in Springfield
- Growing Public School Exit initiatives across the state
- Increasing IFI’s donor base to help stabilize our long-term operations
We are deeply grateful for your prayers, partnership, and generosity, which enable this work to continue.
As we move into year-end, would you prayerfully consider sharing our matching challenge with your friends, church community, or anyone passionate about strengthening the Christian witness in Illinois?
Your influence helps extend the reach of this ministry far beyond what we could do alone.
Thank you again for standing with us. May the Lord bless you and your family richly during this season.
Serving Christ together,
Richard M. Hartian
IFI Board President
