    About John A Kolden Family Foundation

    The John A Kolden Family Foundation appears to make targeted, small-scale grants focused on emergency humanitarian assistance and general charity. Grants have supported large national relief organizations responding to disasters and basic needs, and funding has been directed outside the foundation's Chicago location (e.g., Texas and Florida). The foundation gives a small number of modest gifts and shows a tendency to repeat support to the same organization.

    Focus Areas

    Disaster relief and emergency response (support to Red Cross-style operations)Direct charitable assistance and basic needs (Salvation Army-style social services)Out-of-area disaster support (giving to relief efforts outside Chicago)

    Who They Fund

    disaster-affected communities (out-of-state)low-income individuals and families in need of basic servicesnational disaster/charitable organizations (institutional grantees)

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, small-number giving: a few modest grants totaling about $11K, including repeat support to at least one grantee; funds directed to national disaster/charity organizations rather than many small local groups.
