McCormick Foundation Invests $200,000 In Chicago Jesuit Initiatives

The Board of Directors of the McCormick Foundation approved grants to two Jesuit institutions These fourth quarter grants support the Foundation's focus on its hometown and on encouraging citizens to become more active, informed and engaged.

These most recent grants are targeted directly at Chicago-area needs and reflect McCormick's ties to the city and its people. "Although Robert R. McCormick was a true citizen of the world, his heart, and his major contributions, were always in Chicago," said David L. Grange, president and chief executive officer, McCormick Foundation, "The McCormick Foundation is part of his legacy and, like McCormick, the Foundation seeks to improve civic health. We are proud to help fund these important initiatives and to be part of efforts to support our city, our communities, and our citizens."
