    About Ann Kempczinski Foundation

    The Ann Kempczinski Foundation concentrates on youth-focused programs in Chicago and Massachusetts, especially early literacy, after-school/mentoring programs, and community health supports for families. They fund both direct service providers (after‑school organizations, mentoring programs) and institutions delivering literacy in clinical or community settings. Grants tend to be modest-to-mid sized and targeted to operational/program support rather than capital, often favoring repeat or follow-up gifts to organizations they have supported before.

    Focus Areas

    Early literacy programs integrated into clinics and community settings (e.g., Reading programs at Massachusetts General Hospital, Raising a Reader)After‑school and youth development in urban areas (e.g., After School Matters, Inner City Youth Opportunities)Violence interruption and community safety for at‑risk youth (e.g., Chicago CRED)Faith‑based mentoring and education in Chicagoland (e.g., New Life Centers of Chicagoland, Mother Caroline Academy)Family support services linked to pediatric care (e.g., Ronald McDonald House Charities)
