Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits in the Midwest (especially Illinois) working in education, health, youth development, cultural institutions, or community infrastructure, capable of handling larger capital, endowment, or multi-year program support and willing to engage through relationship-based introductions.
Good Fit
- • Programs or capital projects rooted in Illinois or neighboring Midwest states.
- • Requests for capital, endowment, challenge-match, or multi-year program support at mid-to-large scale.
- • Strong local reputation or introductions from intermediaries, community foundations, or prior partners.
- • Demonstrated capacity to manage large gifts and to report to high-capacity private funders.
Geography
Observed grants cover about 15 states but are regionally concentrated: roughly 55% of dollars were awarded to Illinois, indicating a Midwest/regional footprint rather than a national reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 132 grants to 106 distinct recipients across education, health, arts and community sectors, and multi-year filings consistently show 100+ recipients annually, demonstrating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows the foundation funds many new grantees each year (about 50 new recipients in 2023), but the public website and application language state grants are invitation-only and unsolicited requests are not accepted, so entry for unfamiliar applicants appears possible primarily via introductions or intermediaries rather than open public applications.
