Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

CDFI and community lending capital nationwide
Federally qualified community health centers, rural and urban
Chicago-area human services, violence reduction, housing stability
Affordable housing, homelessness and community action agencies
Civil legal aid and democracy/civic participation groups
Climate and clean energy intermediaries

Typical grant

The median grant is $25,000 and half of all grants fall between $10,000 and $100,000, which is the donor-advised and discretionary layer of a community foundation. A separate tier of very large checks, $4 million to $50 million, went almost entirely to national intermediaries, CDFIs, and health center networks in 2023, and those are pass-through or partnership deployments rather than responses to unsolicited requests. Chicago nonprofits appear repeatedly across years, so repeat funding at the five- and six-figure level is normal.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“General support for programs, operations and other charitable purposes”
“general support”
“operations”
“charitable purposes”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to a named Chicago-area grantee's theme: violence reduction, housing stability, immigrant legal services, family services.
Ask in the $25,000 to $100,000 band for a first request; six figures needs an existing relationship.
Frame the request as general operating support, not a restricted research project, matching their own wording.
If work is national, connect it to CDFI capital access or community health center capacity, their two biggest large-check lanes.

Worth knowing: Illinois recipients outnumber the next state four to one, so a Cook County footprint matters far more than subject fit. The giant 2023 grants to Save the Children, Capital Impact Partners, Breakthrough Energy Catalyst and dozens of health centers reflect large donor-advised or intermediary flows, and treating them as evidence of an open national program would be a mistake.
