Foundations of East Chicago

We are laser-focused on helping the people and organizations in our area. Since 1997, through scholarships and grants to virtually every kind of community organization, we have touched the lives of most East Chicagoans in at least 10 different ways.

Here you may view results of some of our recent funding. Since 1997, we have underwritten services to residents and organizations of East Chicago in education, public safety, youth development, health, community economic development and family support services.
