Priority is given to organizations located in and serving the city of Chicago.
The Foundation provides support for general operating or specific projects. It will not fund capital and endowment campaigns, tickets to dinners and other fund-raising events, or goodwill advertising in yearbooks, dinner programs or event programs. To apply, a qualifying organization must submit a two-page letter of intent. An organization may only apply once during a 12 month period for a direct program grant. If an organization is extended an invitation to complete an RFP form, there are several steps in the review process.
