Programs

Steans Family Foundation focuses our grantmaking in two communities: North Lawndale on Chicago’s west side, and the City of North Chicago. We also support organizations that create and coordinate policy efforts in the areas of education, employment, community safety, and economic opportunity because effective policy means increased impact at the community level.

North Lawndale

We support residents and organizations that strengthen education, expand employment, improve community safety, and build lasting economic opportunity.
