Arthur Foundation
|
|
| The Foundation recognizes that actual health care or health related service is only one of
the factors determining the health status of individuals and families of these same
communities. The health of the people is also determined by the educational status of its
people, especially its youth. Therefore, the Foundation will also consider grant requests
that foster and improve education and educational opportunities. To implement the educational aspect of the Foundation's Mission Statement, the Foundation has embarked upon an Initiative for Educational Excellence that, in the main, focuses on students residing in the City of Berwyn, the Town of Cicero, or other nearby western Cook County, Illinois communities. |
