    The Illinois Disciples Foundation is run from Bloomington Illinois and is a regional division for the Disciples of Christ denomination. These foundations were established to serve the needs of student populations and, due to financial trouble, ended up selling the building to a property management agency. 

The church (University Place Christian Church) still owns their part of the building and did make an effort to buy the foundation portion. However they couldn't meet the bidding price of the company that ended up purchasing the Foundation facilities and the parking lot. The main chapel is absolutely beautiful, but I wouldn't be surprised if the church ends up having to move and this building gets knocked down to build another apartment complex. 
 
In regards to the Common Ground Co-op relocating to Lincoln Square is really a smart move. The parking is more accessible and being next to the farmers market is a plus.  A friend of mine who has had a lot of co-op experience told me that many of these organizations have had to expand their base operations in order to survive. 

There are still places that serve social justice and political causes....The Channing Murray Foundation comes to mind.

    Wow, I also heard that after the Chief retirement, the PRC dissolved! Is that true as well? Maybe the local Left has been moved from the IDF to the IMC building.

  Hi, All,
  I know the Food Coop (currently housed at the Illinois Disciples Foundation) is moving to Lincoln Square Village twds the end of the summer, but I haven't heard why. A friend speculates that the IDF building has been sold, but I can't seem to find any info on that (it would be a loss to social and political causes if so). Does anyone know what's going on?? Thanks in advance for the update.
