Illinois Soybean Foundation cultivates grants, contributions and partnerships that amplify the mission and strategic goals of Illinois Soybean Association (ISA).  

The farmers who lead ISA decide on the organization’s strategic focus areas and priorities. The Foundation then seeks financial support for those priorities. 

Contributions to Illinois Soybean Foundation augment and further what ISA achieves with soybean checkoff dollars. This is especially important right now due to the mounting economic stressors faced by Illinois growers.   

Donations to Illinois Soybean Foundation are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

ISA is a dynamic, proactive and responsive association that has supported the interests of our state’s soybean farmers for over 60 years. Donors to Illinois Soybean Foundation are an important part of this community of support and belonging.  

Illinois Soybean Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Overall, the Foundation is farmer-led and farmer-driven. It is governed by five board officers of ISA and the organization’s CEO.
