Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans. Aim high in hope and work. Remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.
— Daniel H. Burnham
Strategic Plan
Since adopting our Strategic Plan in January 2008, individual citizens and agencies both have worked with the Foundations of East Chicago to advance the plan’s positive impacts in the community. We host Town Meetings at least twice a year which are open to all residents, and are organized to update the community on how the Strategic Plan is helping the Foundation, nonprofit agencies and government agencies all work more effectively to improve our city and the lives of our residents.
The goals we set for FEC as a result of the 2008-2011 Strategic Plan include:
- Fostering grantmaking excellence in serving the community of East Chicago, with priorities of education and public safety
- Increasing the capacity of local organizations and institutions to meet the needs of East Chicago residents
- Measuring the impact of funding and leadership through ongoing evaluation
- Strengthening partnerships with local, regional, statewide, and national entities
- Leveraging additional public and private resources
