Mindful of the serious life challenges currently being faced by young people in the Chicagoland area, The Driskill Foundation seeks to shine a light, pave a path, and help create opportunities that might not otherwise exist for discovery, personal development, and lifelong success. We support programs that ignite curiosity in STEM and the arts as an avenue to discover their passion and dreams for a brighter tomorrow.

Using funds generously provided by our donors, we identify organizations best qualified to turn financial resources into impactful programs and initiatives, that demonstrate real, measurable results in support of this mission. Simply put, we strive to be the very best at connecting available resources with opportunities to stimulate curiosity that will have real, lasting, positive impact on our young people.

The most direct and impactful way to get involved is through your financial support. Our website links make this quick and easy and your dollars will be put to work immediately. Additionally, many of the organizations we partner with have volunteer opportunities at the local level. We look forward to discussing your interests and connecting you to opportunities that work best for you.

Funds donated to the Driskill Foundation are made available in the form of financial grants to qualifying, carefully selected not-for-profit organizations. Recipient organizations are selected from among grant proposal submissions received. Following a rigorous review of all proposals, grant awards are determined and made on a quarterly basis throughout the calendar year. All grants provided include periodic reporting requirements to ensure quality results and goal attainment.

Our organization takes our privacy policy seriously and takes steps to protect and ensure the safety of our supporters. We do not sell or otherwise disclose information about our volunteers or supporters outside of our immediate organization. This policy has no exceptions. We do not sell or exchange your information with any other organizations, public, private or nonprofit. For more detailed information visit our Privacy Policy page.
