In this episode of WGIL’s Galesburg’s Morning News, Josh Gibb, President and CEO of the Galesburg Community Foundation, joins us to discuss the 2025 Turnout Grant Cycle, which awarded a record-breaking $550,000 to 42 nonprofits across Knox, Warren, and Henderson counties.
Josh explains how The Turnout connects donors with local nonprofits through a storytelling approach, fully funding projects in arts, health, education, and nonprofit capacity. He shares how increased donor-advised fund engagement drove this year’s success, the Foundation’s focus on building permanent endowments for long-term impact, and how anyone can get involved, from starting a $10,000 fund to contributing smaller gifts.
