Overview The Albert Pick, Jr. Fund is an Illinois nonprofit corporation organized in 1947 as a general-purpose private foundation. Its mission, while broadened over the years, remains faithful to the intent of its founders, Corinne and Albert Pick, Jr.:"... to offer a hand when help is needed."Today, the Fund is governed by a Board of Directors that meets regularly to approve policy, manage the endowment, and review applications evaluated by the Fund's professional staff.To focus its resources, the Fund considers requests only from nonprofits with offices and separately budgeted programs operating within the City of Chicago. An exception to this policy applies to those few grant relationships that fulfill the intent or philanthropic obligations of its founders. The Fund receives many more requests than it can fund, it carefully balances its grantmaking programmatically, fiscally and demographically. It offers both project support and general operating assistance with a minimum grant amount of $3,000.The Fund currently makes annual, as well as multi-year, grants within four major program categories: Civic and community, Culture, Education and Health and Human Services. Nonprofit applicants are urged to review the requirements and limitations outlined in these Guidelines to insure their eligibility before completing the Fund's Application Form and submitting the required attachments.
Considering applying? Please read The Albert Pick Jr. Fund will be making some changes to its guidelines later this year. For now, the Fund is still operating under the guidelines listed on this website. However, applying organizations should know that because this is a transition period for the Fund, priority will be given to organizations that have recently received funding or organizations that are applying for one-time events or activities which can be completed within a determined time period. Please continue to check this website for updates and feel free to contact us with any questions.
