Education, prosperity, and hope for all. That is the vision behind the Fry Foundation's grantmaking. We provide support to nonprofit organizations that have the strength and commitment to improve conditions for low-income, underserved Chicago residents.

Grants are awarded in four major areas: Education, Arts Education, Employment, and Health. Across all of our funding areas,our focus is on helping organizations:

Build capacity to enhance the quality of services and better assess the impact of programs;

Develop successful program innovations that other organizations in the field can learn from or adopt; and

Share knowledge so that information which can help low-income communities and individuals is widely and readily available.
