West Central Illinois Gives (WCIL Gives) is a friendly fundraising competition hosted by the Tracy Family Foundation (TFF), leveraging the Mightycause platform. During the four-day event, West Central Illinois nonprofits, schools, and churches will promote their causes, competing to reach milestones and win prizes. WCIL Gives will go live Monday, June 9th at 8am CT and continue through Thursday, June 12 at 11:59pm CT.
WCIL Gives is driven by the belief that the generosity found in the hearts of West Central Illinois residents can empower nonprofits, churches, and schools in their vital work. When you contribute during WCIL Gives, the organizations you select benefit from flexible funding, enabling them to maximize their impact in the areas that matter most.
We envision these four days as a time for the entire community to find strength in unity, creating an avenue where everyone has the opportunity to be a changemaker.

"Home is where the heart is..."
"Home is where the heart is..."
The Tracy Family Foundation's mission is to help communities thrive and families flourish.
The Tracy family wants everyone to experience the support and encouragement of a strong community – because home is where the heart is, and it is the people who make up our communities that often impact us the most.
The Tracy Family Foundation (TFF) was incorporated in December 1997, by the Robert and Dorothy Tracy family as a vehicle to share their many blessings. TFF is supported by Dot Foods, the nation’s largest food industry redistributor. Dot Foods is owned and operated by the Tracy family and operates across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
To date, the foundation has awarded over $80 million to organizations serving their communities. TFF seeks to make the world a better place through engaged, thoughtful, and strategic philanthropy that exemplifies the values of the Robert and Dorothy Tracy family.

The 2nd generation of the Tracy family started the Tracy Family Foundation because they were inspired by the generosity of their parents, Robert (RT) and Dorothy Tracy.
On June 9, 1949, RT and Dorothy Tracy were united in marriage. As the backbone of the Tracy family and the driving force behind Dot Foods, it seems fitting that WCIL Gives would honor RT and Dorothy's unwavering commitment to each other and their positive impact on West Central Illinois.
