Annual Fund

Landmarks Illinois has the know-how, access to strategic partnerships and financial resources people need to save threatened, historic places in our state. But we can’t do this work without your support. Please give the most generous Annual Fund gift you can today.

YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED!

Thanks to a generous matching challenge gift from Anne Voshel through the Van Dam Charitable Foundation, your year-end gift to Landmarks Illinois will be matched dollar-for-dollar if you donate by January 31, 2024. Anne Voshel has been a dedicated Landmarks Illinois member for over 30 years serving on the former President’s Committee, Board of Directors and the Emeritus Board. We thank Anne for encouraging others to give through this challenge.
