The CFLL An Important Part of Springfield and Sangamon County

The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln (CFLL) is accredited by the Council on Foundations and is the community foundation for Sangamon and surrounding counties, including Cass, Christian, Logan, Macoupin, Menard, Montgomery and Morgan.
