Grantees

The Lohengrin Foundation primarily supports Chicago-area organizations. We are committed to learning from grantees  and strive to be agile and responsive to the evolving needs and emerging issues aligned with our areas of interest.  

All organizations supported by the foundation must have a current Section 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status or be sponsored by a qualifying fiscal sponsor. 

Please join our mailing list to find out about future funding announcements. 

If you have been contacted by a member of our staff or board, please contact them directly for additional follow-up or email us at info@lohengrinfdn.org.
