Today is the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month! The Steans Family Foundation celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of the Hispanic-American community.
About us
The Steans Family Foundation (SFF) dedicates time, resources, and skills within the North Lawndale community, located on Chicago’s west side, and the North Chicago community, a city just south of Waukegan, 40 miles north of downtown Chicago. SFF believes effective revitalization can occur within the existing social, educational, and economic networks that create and sustain communities. SFF believes that with investment, coupled with a strong policy ecosystem, communities can thrive.
