About This Business

Products and Services

In 1924, three of the banks in Springfield created the Sangamon County Foundation to provide financial resources to local charitable causes. Those banks were the First State Trust and Savings Bank (now US Bank), the Ridgley-Farmers State Bank (which no longer exists) and the Marine Bank of Springfield (now J.P. Morgan).The founders of the foundation included some of our community's most prominent citizens. The list of people present at the October 20, 1924 meeting to establish the Sangamon County Foundation includes:

Jacob Bunn
George W. Bunn
Joseph F. Bunn
Thomas Condell
Alonzo Hoff
J.H. Holbrook
R.C. Lanphier
John G. Oglesby
George Pasfield, Jr.
William E. Lehne
George F. Reisch
The original Foundation had been a leading supporter of organizations throughout Central Illinois for nearly 80 years. However, as the charitable landscape grew and diversified it became apparent that the organization had to evolve in order to better serve the common good.
