The Monticello Area Education Foundation was established in 1998 and serves as a partnership between public education and private individuals and businesses. It is one of the first such foundations in Illinois and the only one in Piatt County. We are “education boosters.”


The Foundation supports its activities by soliciting donations and bequests of money and property. When available, the Foundation seeks grant funding to further its activities. All funding received will be used in ways that are consistent with the mission of the Foundation and the specified wishes of those contributing the funds.
