Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) organization working in health/medical research, medical education, or social services (youth or seniors), especially with programs or presence in Illinois and with formal financial statements and a clear project request.
Good Fit
- • 501(c)(3) status with certified financial statements.
- • Programmatic focus on medical research, medical education, clinical health services, or social assistance for youth or seniors.
- • Demonstrable service or base in Illinois (or a clear partnership with Illinois institutions).
- • Capacity to accept and manage mid-size to large grants and to provide requested board and financial details.
- • Ability to submit a concise request by the April 30 deadline via the online form or letter route.
Geography
Most dollars are concentrated in the foundation's home state (about two-thirds), but grants also reached organizations in three other states in the latest year, so giving is regionally focused rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 150 distinct recipients with a mix of large institutional awards and many smaller grants, showing a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
A public website, an online grant request form, a clear April 30 deadline, and an explicit letter-submission route are published, and the latest year included 37 new grantees, so unfamiliar applicants have a plausible, documented path to apply.
