Where the money went

Grants on the 2024 filing stayed close to home: Illinois ($1.1M). Most small foundations give almost entirely within one state, and this one is the rule rather than the exception.

What they fund

Derived from where the money actually went rather than from a stated mission, which is the more useful of the two and frequently the different one.

  • Human Services
  • Housing & Shelter
  • Mental Health & Crisis Intervention

Recent giving reached Illinois.

Their most recent 990-PF reported program-related investments: money moved as loans, guarantees or equity rather than grants. That is one filing year rather than a standing program, and it is rare, roughly one foundation in eighty on this site. It is also one of the few routes foundation money reaches a company.
