Our Geographic Focus
Our grantmaking is deeply rooted in East Central Illinois, the original service area of Illinois Consolidated Telephone (ICTC), the company founded by the Lumpkin family in 1894. We also support organizations in Chicago and national organizations whose efforts align with our core focus on promoting health and wellness through sustainable food systems, mental health initiatives, and regenerative agriculture.
Our Mission & Vision
The Lumpkin Family Foundation is guided by the vision of a Healthy, Sustainable World.
We activate progress toward this vision through our mission, "Supporting people working together to build healthy, sustainable communities in East Central Illinois and across the U.S."
