The Beacon-News Advisory Fund was created by the Beacon-News to support the company’s philanthropic objectives.
The Beacon-News has been Aurora’s daily newspaper since 1846. It now prints three editions – the Aurora, Kendall County and Kane County edition.
The paper has been recognized as one of the best daily newspapers in the State of Illinois by the Associated Press, Northern Illinois Newspaper Association, Illinois Press Association and the Chicago Headline Club.
A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

President Emeritus
As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.
