Program areas at ECF
Through its grantmaking the Foundation distributes resources through local organizations for public good. Since 2020 we've adapted grantmaking to meet Community need, including adding opportunities to support collective and enduring initiatives and providing operating support. We will continue to listen to Community to keep our grantmaking focused on supporting Community priorities.
The Foundation supports an empowered, engaged Community that collaborates across sectors to define problems and develop solutions.
The Foundation fosters private philanthropy and builds endowed funds to sustain our Community; it also administers donor-advised and other non-endowed funds to build and distribute resources for more immediate needs.
The Foundation strengthens Evanston's nonprofit organizations through partnerships and collaborations, delivers workshops for nonprofits, runs our leadership Evanston program, and promotes Community engagement.
