CAPCIL Awarded $25,000 grant from
The Woods Foundation
[November 26, 2025]
Lincoln, IL – Community Action
Partnership of Central Illinois (CAPCIL) is proud to announce it has
been awarded a generous $25,000 grant from The Woods Foundation to
support the Workcamp for Lincoln Project 2026. These funds will be
used directly for the purchase of materials and supplies needed to
complete critical home repair projects for residents throughout
Logan County.
The Woods Foundation was made possible through the generosity of
Robert J. Woods and Joan Jarrett Woods, who established and funded
The Woods Foundation to carry on their long history of philanthropy.
Their commitment to supporting meaningful community-based
initiatives continues to create lasting impact.
The Workcamp for Lincoln Project, a collaborative community
initiative, brings hundreds of youth and adult volunteers to Lincoln
to complete essential repair work on the homes of residents. Typical
repair projects include painting, porch and ramp repairs, basic
weatherization, and other safety- and accessibility-focused
improvements—all at no cost to the homeowner.
With an expected 300+ volunteers
participating in the 2026 Workcamp, CAPCIL is working diligently to
identify and prepare qualifying project sites across the county.
Thanks to the support of partners like The Woods Foundation, CAPCIL
can ensure that materials are available to complete dozens of home
repairs that will significantly improve safety, accessibility, and
quality of life for local residents.
“We are incredibly grateful to The Woods Foundation for their
generous support,” said CAPCIL Chief Visionary Officer Breann Titus.
“Their support helps ensure that families in Logan County receive
the repairs and improvements they need to live safely and
comfortably in their homes. This funding plays a vital role in
strengthening our neighborhoods and uplifting our community.”
