The Hilary Brennan Administrative Fund was created by Hilary Brennan to support the administrative activities of the Community Foundation.

Mrs. Brennan has been a director of the Community Foundation for twenty-one years and served as chairman of the board from 2005-2007.

She also has been a member of many charitable boards of directors including the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry, Aurora University, Fox Valley United Way, Provena Mercy Medical Center and YWCA Aurora.

Mrs. Brennan holds degrees from Aurora University and St. Louis University.  Currently, she is a consultant for the Dunham Fund.

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.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

…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.

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.
