Foundations of East Chicago

Our program partners shape the future of our communities!

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
— Helen Keller
Our impact is amplified by the many passionate, dedicated partner organizations with whom we share resources, vision and energy. If we can't meet a funding need, often one of our partners can.
