Partnership-Driven Approach to Creating Lasting Impact

At the Owens Foundation, we invest our resources through trusted relationships with community-rooted organizations and nonprofits, and collaborate with peer funders when partnership strengthens our mission. Our goal is to create meaningful, lasting impact—helping individuals, families, and neighborhoods across Chicago thrive through strategic grantmaking and partner-delivered emergency support.

With many long-term grantee partners, we are not taking new grant applications at this time.
