Grantmaking Guidelines
The Chicago Fund is a private foundation that invests primarily with Chicagoland nonprofits and local governmental agencies to improve healthcare quality, access and equity. The Fund focuses its work on the most urgent public health issues that disproportionately effect residents living in under-resourced communities.
In our inaugural year, we distributed grant funding totaling over $1 million. Currently, The Chicago Fund does not accept unsolicited requests for funding.
