Prado And Renteria Foundation
The Prado & Renteria firm’s official website (pradorenteria.com) describes the Prado and Renteria Foundation as an extension of the CPA firm that provides scholarships and financial support to immigrants and first-generation college students and offers strategic planning and donations to community organizations. The site lists a Chicago address (1837 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60616) and contact details and contains multiple recent community posts about foundation activities.

Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize Chicago-area charities or programs serving immigrants, first-generation college students, scholarship funds, or financial-literacy/education initiatives that match the foundation’s stated focus and local footprint.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving immigrants or first-generation college students in Chicago or nearby Illinois communities
- • Scholarship funds or educational support initiatives with clear, demonstrable outcomes
- • Local organizations that can be introduced through a personal contact or referral
- • Requests aligned with small grant sizes (hundreds to low tens of thousands)
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in a single state, with all 2024 grant dollars going to Illinois recipients and the foundation listing a Chicago address.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows three distinct independent recipients and the three-year record includes multiple different grantees with no repeats, indicating modest variety for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover exists, but the fund reports awards are limited to preselected applicants and application materials are 'by request', so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funding without being identified or referred.
