Kinship Foundation
Kinship Foundation is a private operating foundation with three areas of focus: biomedical research, environmental conservation, and education. Its work includes developing and supporting Chicago-based grant making initiatives through the Searle Funds at The Chicago Community Trust, administering the Searle Scholars Program, and operating Kinship Conservation Fellows.
The Chicago Community Trust
As our region’s community foundation, The Chicago Community Trust has been here for all Chicagoans for over 110 years. We unite donors, nonprofits and residents to support people, organizations and partnerships that strengthen the Chicago region. We address challenges that stand in the way of a thriving region, including meeting people’s critical needs such as secure housing and healthy food; mobilizing support in response to crises such as the Great Depression and COVID pandemic; and working on ways to build wealth and well-being for Chicagoans, including those who have historically lacked equal access to opportunity. We believe that when our neighbors do better, we all do better. Learn more at cct.org.
