The Burridge D Butler Memorial Trust of Chicago directs virtually all of its giving to a single regional community foundation, indicating a primary commitment to supporting civic philanthropy and community grantmaking in the Chicago area. Its grants are described as charitable and educational in purpose, suggesting the Trust prefers to enable an intermediary (the Chicago Community Trust) to allocate funds to local needs rather than fund operating programs directly.
Highly concentrated: very few, very large grants all to a single intermediary (Chicago Community Trust), indicating a strategy of centralized, likely unrestricted support to a community foundation rather than direct programmatic funding.
