Bright Promises Foundation is one of the oldest 501c3 public charities in Illinois solely dedicated to funding innovative programs that address emerging issues for at-risk children. Today, through research and discussion with leading children’s experts, Bright Promises Foundation determines the most critical needs of children that are currently under-recognized and underfunded. Through innovative grantmaking and capacity-building program support, we continue to make long-lasting improvements to the lives of disadvantaged children in Illinois.
