The Mark Savoree Family Foundation is a private, family foundation created in 2021.
We are a multi-generational, family-governed organization whose programs reflect the collective aspirations of a diverse family living in communities across the country.
We make grants and conduct programs that support people working together to build healthy, sustainable communities in East Central Illinois and beyond.
We are devoted to the region of East-Central Illinois, where the Savoree family has operated businesses for more than 35 years. However, we look at the world holistically, through a system lens, and direct resources elsewhere when it aligns with our goals.
We understand the Foundation’s role as existing along a continuum- from responsive grant-making to executing our own programs that aim to spur innovation, foster leadership, and encourage new approaches to old problems.
We appreciate the special needs of the smallest and rural communities where we work, and we do our best to leverage additional resources and enhance local philanthropy.
We strive to be a learning organization. We believe in action, evaluation, and continuous improvement. Much of our grant-making supports collaboration and networks to support learning, develop an understanding of issues, and encourage work across organizations and sectors.
