OUR GRANTEES
The Lyon Family Foundation strives to make an immediate and long-lasting difference in Chicago while concurrently learning about the evolving needs of the citizen’s in the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods. We have identified and funded projects in our core focus areas, as well as Leukemia Research, to align with our mission.
With the city’s ever-changing landscape, we expect to add new allies in combating these prominent issues to make a lasting impact in the coming years.
