About Albert & Anne Mansfield Foundation C/O Jeffrey Hopmayer
The Albert & Anne Mansfield Foundation concentrates its giving on public-interest legal capacity and higher education, primarily funding programs that place or support lawyers in service roles and a private university. Most of its dollars flow to national legal fellowship work (Equal Justice Works) and to Roosevelt University, suggesting a preference for strengthening legal access and postsecondary institutions rather than broad community philanthropy. Grants are few but sizeable, indicating targeted strategic investments rather than many small awards.

About Albert & Anne Mansfield Foundation C/O Jeffrey Hopmayer
Albert & Anne Mansfield Foundation C/o Jeffrey Hopmayer gives at a high level of concentration: its largest recent awards go to Equal Justice Works for general support, including $140,000 in 2025, $131,500 in 2024, and $88,000 in 2023. That pattern points to sustained backing for public-interest legal fellowship infrastructure rather than one-off project grants. The foundation also makes repeated institutional gifts to Roosevelt University, with $60,000 awards in both 2023 and 2024, showing a parallel commitment to higher education. Beyond those anchors, its recent grants include legal aid, justice reform, and related civic organizations, all funded as general support. The result is a portfolio built around a small set of recurring recipients, with several multi-year relationships and grant sizes that are large enough to matter for operating budgets. Recent recipients range from Washington, DC-based national legal fellowship work to Chicago-area institutions and advocacy groups, indicating a deliberate mix of national and local capacity-building rather than broad, dispersed philanthropy.

Higher education is another clear line of giving: Roosevelt University received $60,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for general support. The foundation also supports community organizations connected to education, culture, and services, including $20,000 to Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education in 2025 and $20,000 to Growing Home in 2025.
