Program areas at ECF
Through its grantmaking, the Foundation distributes resources through local organizations for the public good. In 2020 ECF launched the Evanston Community Rapid Response Fund to foster a unified philanthropic response to the impact of COVID-19 on the Evanston community. New grant opportunities were launched to address immediate basic needs, support collective and enduring initiatives, and provide operating support for nonprofits. As Evanston moves forward toward rebuilding a more resilient and equitable community, ECF will continue to strategically align its grants and program with similar grant opportunities
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 supports an empowered, engaged community that collaborates across sectors to define problems and develop solutions.
