Skokie Community Foundation Grants

The Skokie Community Foundation Grants promote collaboration among organizations to enhance community welfare in Skokie. Applications must involve at least two partners, including a qualified nonprofit or governmental entity. The foundation funds diverse projects addressing arts, education, health, and more. The aim is to create lasting benefits for the Skokie community, ensuring that funded initiatives support both immediate needs and long-term development.

Collaboration for the benefit of Skokie is the core philosophy of the Skokie Community Foundation’s grant program. An application must be submitted by two or more organizations working together, one of which must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a school, governmental unit or social service agency.
SCF funds proposals that address any aspect of community in Skokie, including arts and culture, basic human needs, community relations and development, early childhood learning, education, environment, family support/counseling, health, housing, services for seniors or youth, or workforce development. We look to fund projects that will benefit Skokie both during and beyond the program year.
