Founded in 1991 the Monroe Foundation is a 29-year-old community reinvestment advocacy organization whose mission is to educate, link and fund community development projects within low-to-moderate income communities in the state of Illinois. As a mission-driven institution, the organization is established to break the cycle of poverty and disinvestment in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The Monroe Foundation has a strong history of helping the vulnerable, the poor, the unemployed, the ex-offender, and at-risk youth solve their critical needs and access available resources to improve their living conditions. Most recently, the Monroe Foundation created COVID resource hubs in Austin, Englewood, and Maywood.
