Description
The Carl R. Hendrickson Family Foundation, administered by Bank of America’s Illinois office, provides annual grants to nonprofit organizations addressing community needs throughout Illinois. The foundation particularly emphasizes support for underserved populations, but does not publicly detail specific focus areas or program types—applicants must consult the foundation’s online profile for up-to-date priorities, restrictions, and examples of funded projects. Grants are typically for one year, though multi-year requests may be considered. The foundation uses a structured online application and post-grant reporting process, and all applicants must ensure strong alignment with the foundation’s mission and goals.
