You know that Illinois Family Institute is supported by moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers from across our state. But here’s something you might not know:

Only 5% of IFI’s followers donate to support this ministry. Just five percent!

Yet, we’ve done the math: if every follower gave just $50, we could fully fund our work for the year – and beyond!

If even a greater number of our subscribers pledged $10 or $20 monthly, we could expand our impact, reach more families, and fill much-needed staff positions.

IFI doesn’t employ a professional fundraiser. We don’t flood your mailbox with letters. Instead, we remain laser-focused on our mission:

To boldly bring a biblical perspective to public policy.

Now more than ever, we must speak truth in the public square—proclaiming Christ, exposing evil, and defending what is good and just.

But to continue this work, we need your support.

Please consider a one-time, tax-deductible gift of $50 or $100—or better yet, become a Sustaining Partner at $10 or $20 a month.

What We’re Doing

Every day, the IFI team advocates for biblical truth and Christian ethics on behalf of Illinois families through:

• Prayer Team guidance

• Lobbying in Springfield: Tracking and opposing dangerous legislation

• Legislative action alerts

• Hosting special forums and conferences

• Engaging on social media and in the news

• Speaking, exhorting, training, and equipping believers to stand firm

• Launching projects with churches and like-minded groups

By God’s grace, our influence has grown over the past decade—but with your help, we can reach even farther.

What We’re Fighting

Illinois is a battlefield. Consider just a few of the pending bills we have been working diligently to stop:

• Assisted suicide legalization

• Homeschool regulation that threatens parental rights

• Legalization of prostitution and psychedelic drugs

• Online gambling expansion targeting the vulnerable

And if that isn’t bad enough, Governor Pritzker recently signed into law a bill requiring mental health screenings for third-graders and up.

When the Left defines “mental health,” it becomes a tool for control, not care. Will faithful Christian, Jewish, and Muslim students be re-educated to conform to a godless ideology? How will this new law be used to program students with deceptive and sinful philosophies?

Meanwhile, Illinois schools continue failing our kids—abandoning basic academics to focus on social engineering, radical sex-ed, anti-Americanism, and Marxist indoctrination.

Bottom Line

It’s Light versus darkness.

Truth versus lies. Good versus evil.

While our opponents lie, scream, vandalize, blaspheme, and attempt to shame us, we will not back down. We will speak the truth boldly and fight for families, life, and freedom. But we can’t do it without you.

Will you stand with us today?

Your generous tax-deductible gift of $20, $50, $100, or whatever the Lord leads will fuel our efforts to uphold our faith, families, and God-given freedoms in Illinois.

Together for truth,

David E. Smith
Executive Director
