Our Mission

For The Good Of Illinois was founded to empower regular people with the means to change how politics is practiced in Illinois state government.  We want to rekindle the spirit of public service among our elected officials. 

Everyone has a role to play.  Government will be accountable to citizens who demand transparency.  This is why grassroots organizing is so important.  We're working to return Illinois to its roots:  the citizen.

We suggest fellow citizens adopt the philosophy of, "Not On My Watch!" and do something now to move Illinois in a different direction.  ForTheGoodOfIllinois.org provides a simple road map to do this.

With all of our time and talent, we want to make Illinois right again - for regular people.

ForTheGoodOfIllinois is a 501(c)4 non-profit, social welfare organization.  Our exemption application is pending with the IRS.  The IRS is nine months behind on the processing of exemption applications.  See Our Transparency below to review our IRS application and tax filings.
