2026 Township Officials Of Illinois (TOI) Conference

Townships play an important role in supporting the people and families within their communities, often finding creative ways to meet needs that extend beyond their traditional responsibilities. For some, establishing a charitable foundation can open new opportunities to expand that support and make a lasting difference.
 
Today, Airdo Werwas, LLC, attorneys Mark J. Kimzey and Jake A. Leahy will present at the 2026 Township Officials Of Illinois (TOI) Conference in Springfield, sharing their insights during Building a Township Foundation: 501(c)(3) Formation, Governance, and Best Practices.
 
Their presentation will explore the legal and practical considerations involved in establishing and operating a township foundation, from nonprofit formation and tax-exempt status to governance, leadership responsibilities, and maintaining an organization that can serve its community for years to come.
 
At Airdo Werwas, we have the privilege of working alongside township officials who are deeply invested in the well-being of their communities. We see firsthand the thought, care, and dedication that go into developing programs and finding resources to support those who need them most.
 
We're grateful for the opportunity to share our experience with leaders who continually look for ways to strengthen the places they serve, and we look forward to another meaningful day of learning and conversation at TOI.
