The impact goals include the successful rehabilitation, renovation, and upkeep of historic properties, as well as those with significant historic, economic development, or community value. The fund seeks to empower these organizations to undertake projects that might otherwise be financially unfeasible, thereby ensuring the long-term preservation of important community structures. The grant prioritizes historic preservation projects specifically within Springfield, IL. The focus is on tangible improvements to structures and initiatives that raise awareness and support for historic preservation efforts. While not explicitly detailed as a "theory of change," the foundation's strategic priority is evident in its commitment to local community development through preserving its historical infrastructure. This implicitly assumes that by investing in historic preservation, they contribute to economic development, tourism, and community well-being. Expected outcomes include improved conditions of historic buildings, increased public engagement with historic preservation issues, and enhanced community value derived from well-maintained historical sites. The grant awards, typically ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, with one or more grants up to $6,000, serve as measurable results of the fund's direct financial impact on these projects.
