Congratulations to our first round of Healthy Lifestyles grant recipients: Bridge Communities, The GardenWorks Project, Northern Illinois Food Bank, and UCP Sequin of Greater Chicago. Funding for the selected evidence-based programs that encourage healthy eating and physical activity was provided by the JCS Fund.

Put a team of six together or we'll pair you up with one. The winning team will earn bragging rights and the chance to select a DuPage not-for-profit to receive a grant!

The Foundation supports projects that impact, improve, enhance, and enrich the quality of life for DuPage County residents. We're now accepting applications from organizations working in health and human services.

Thanks to a local donor, approximately $90,000 will be distributed for the next five years to support animal welfare projects. Initial grants will focus specifically on transportation projects that benefit animals in organizations' care.

We are excited to share our fiscal year 2018 annual report with you! Thank you for your continued support of our work to address our community’s most pressing needs.

Kathleen Lamonica Krochock opened a donor-advised fund with The DuPage Foundation to honor her parents, Joseph and Margery Lamonica and their family's life in DuPage County.

We're pleased to announce the awarding of nearly $270,000 in grants to 30 DuPage not-for-profits working in the areas of Animal Welfare, Arts and Culture, Education, and the Environment. Grants were distributed at our Holiday Open House on December 12.

Little Friends, NAMI DuPage, and Teen Parent Connection each received grants of $12,500, thanks to generous contributions of Imagination Ball attendees and matching challenge sponsors, for their implementation of creative solutions to community needs.

Our Imagination Ball was a great success! Thanks to attendees, supporters, volunteers, and 20 event sponsors, including Premier Sponsor Northern Trust, nearly $360,000 in gross support has been pledged for our Operating Fund. With paddle raise contributions, figures raised equal more than $435,000 to date.
