- The Illinois Community College System Foundation has been in existe=
nce
since 1992 when it was formed by ICCB Board Chairman Harry Crisp,
President Carey Israel, and the other members of the Board and
administration of the Illinois Community College System. The Illinois Community Coll=
ege
Trustees Association was also a participant in the formation process,
and the President's Council and other System entities cooperated in =
the
formulation of a Statewide foundation to support Illinois community
colleges.

- Initially, one of the
primary reasons for creating the Foundation was to provide a building
for the System that provided a high quality, esthetically pleasing
environment that also had adequate square footage to accommodate a
growing staff and the technological infrastructure that was beginnin=
g to
develop in the Illinois community college system of 39 districts and=
, at
that time, 51 colleges covering all of the geography in Illinois. The Foundation received some
funding from numerous individual sources and one major organization-=
-the
Illinois Health Improvement Association--which closed it's doors and
gave about $1 million in assets to the Illinois Community College Sy=
stem
Foundation.

- In about 1996 through 1997, Chairman Crisp and President and CEO Joe
Cipfl, completed the purchase,
plans, and specifications to provide such a building at 401
Capitol Avenue, two blocks from the State Capitol with a view looking
down Capitol Avenue at the east entrance of the Capitol. The building continues to house=
the
Trustees Association, the Illinois Community College Board staff, and
the Foundation. Moreov=

the building provides a substantial and continuing source of revenue=
to
assist the Foundation in pursuing its vision and mission.
