    About George H Parr Trust Co the Gerber State Bank

    The George H Parr Trust concentrates its funding on sustaining core local institutions in and around Argenta/Decatur, IL, with large general‑operating grants to hospitals, the public library, and a community hall. Their giving favors a small number of sizable awards that shore up essential health care and civic infrastructure rather than one‑off project grants.

    Focus Areas

    Operating support for small‑town hospitals in the Argenta/Decatur areaGeneral operating support for the Argenta‑Oreana public librarySupport for local community facilities / civic halls (e.g., Webster Cantrell Hall)Sustaining essential rural health and community infrastructure

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, high‑dollar general operating grants to a handful of repeat local grantees; funding is regionally focused and aimed at institutional stability rather than many small or new organizations.

    About George H Parr Trust Co the Gerber State Bank

    Among the largest recent awards from George H Parr Trust CO The Gerber State Bank are equal general operating grants of $142,415 each to Decatur Memorial Hospital, St Mary's Hospital, and Argenta-oreana Public Library in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that uses major unrestricted support to help maintain essential local institutions in the Argenta and Decatur area. In the recent record, hospitals, a public library, a community hall, churches, and cemeteries all appear as recipients, showing a consistent emphasis on civic and community infrastructure rather than project-specific initiatives. The foundation’s giving is compact and place-based, with grants repeatedly directed to organizations that anchor daily life in central Illinois. Webster Cantrell Hall received $78,328 in 2025, while The Kemmerer Home in Assumption, Argenta United Methodist Church, and Argenta Presbyterian Church also appear among the larger awards. Across the list, the grant purpose language stays close to general operating support, charitable support, and core institutional maintenance. That makes the funder especially visible in basic operating aid for local service providers and community-serving religious or civic organizations.

    What George H Parr Trust Co the Gerber State Bank Funds

    Health care is a clear priority. In 2025, George H Parr Trust CO The Gerber State Bank gave $142,415 to Decatur Memorial Hospital and another $142,415 to St Mary's Hospital, both in Decatur, for general operating support. That same year, Webster Cantrell Hall received $78,328, also marked general operating, reinforcing attention to local service capacity. Education and public access to information also show up in the record. The Argenta-oreana Public Library in Oreana received $142,415 in 2025 and $95,470 in 2024, both as general operating grants. Community and faith-based facilities are another recurring theme: Argenta United Methodist Church received $42,725 in 2025, and Argenta Presbyterian Church received $35,604 in 2025, again as general operating support. Smaller recurring grants extend the same pattern to rural institutions, including cemeteries and local churches in Cisco, Cooksville, Blue Mound, and Towanda.

    How George H Parr Trust Co the Gerber State Bank Gives

    Typical grants cluster at a moderate-to-large operating level: the 25th percentile is $8,334, the median is $21,151, and the 75th percentile is $63,734.

That recurrence suggests an ongoing operating-support model rather than one-off project funding. The foundation gives locally in Illinois and does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals.
