The Eleanor Foundation has invested over $5 million to build the Eleanor Network — a citywide system of services that is helping Chicago's working women to achieve lasting economic security.
We know that women's needs and opportunities go beyond the capacity and experience of any single organization. That's why we work closely with our grantee partners to restructure programs that will better meet working women's needs, including the need for easy access to where they live or work. We also partner with like-minded investors to combine their resources with our strategic grants to expand the economic potential of working women.
