Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) is awarding a record number of grants for 2025, giving out $40,500 to support nine projects that will meet pressing needs in the community. Each project is being carried out by partnerships between at least two nonprofits and/or agencies.
For the second year in a row, SCF is joined by The Education Foundation Supporting the Students of Niles Township (EF) as one of our funding partners, providing an additional $18,000 to some of these projects.
Grants are also supported by two major business sponsors, First Bank Chicago and Haben Funeral Home & Crematory.
SCF is also proud to announce a brand new community funding partner! Niles Township Government provided SCF with a $3,000 grant to be applied to one of our 2025 grants.
“We would like to thank all of the people and businesses who contributed to Skokie Community Foundation this past year,” said Una McGeough, SCF Chair. “Thanks to your generosity, we were able to expand the number of grants we were able to award this year. We are also so grateful to the Education Foundation for its wonderful partnership with us and Niles Township Government for their financial contribution to our 2025 grant cycle.”
