Giving Tuesday, a global movement that encourages people to engage in acts of generosity, serves as a reminder that even small gestures can have a profound impact on communities. Today, on this auspicious occasion, Representative Weaver takes the opportunity to recognize the significant contributions of Impact Central Illinois, a nonprofit women's collective giving organization.

Impact Central Illinois plays a crucial role in enabling women to fulfill their philanthropic potential. With a diverse membership comprising women from various age groups and perspectives, the organization pools together annual donations to provide substantial grants to local causes. Over the span of four years, Impact Central Illinois has disbursed more than $900,000 to deserving nonprofit organizations within the central Illinois community. Their ultimate objective is to empower women and deliver extraordinary results to the region.

Representative Weaver expresses immense pride in the accomplishments of Impact Central Illinois, as her own mother, Laurie Weaver, co-founded the organization and currently serves as its President. Witnessing her mother's unwavering dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of people within their local communities, she draws inspiration daily.
