Welcome to The Coleman Foundation


 

The Coleman Foundation is a private, independent grantmaking foundation established in 1951. The Foundation supports educational institutions offering entrepreneurship education across the country, organizations providing cancer care, treatment and support, and agencies providing services for individuals with developmental disabilities only in the Chicago Metropolitan area - its primary geographical focus.

 

The Foundation's grantmaking activities focus on three major program areas which include:

  • Entrepreneurship Education - with a strong emphasis on awareness, and experiential learning.
  • Cancer Care - including cancer treatment and supportive oncology services.
  • Developmentally Disabilities - with a strong emphasis on programs that encourage self development and independence for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including rehabilitative services and conductive education programming for children with motor disabilities.
