Mission
The McCormick Foundation's Civics Program seeks to
improve access to quality civic education and engagement opportunities in Chicagoland for youth ages
12-22. The Civics Program pursues this vision by delivering content and services that serve youth and
teachers; funding organizations that improve civic education and engagement; and by advocating for
policy changes which impact the civic education system. Through this work, the Civics Program aims
to provide Chicagoland youth with the knowledge, skills and opportunities that are essential to
lifelong civic engagement.

History
In June 2010, the Citizenship Program, a grantmaking arm of the McCormick Foundation, was combined with the Freedom
Project (formerly the Freedom Museum) to create the McCormick Foundation Civics Program. For more information on our
grantmaking guidelines, please

civic health by providing its youth with a foundation of knowledge, skills, and opportunities
essential to lifelong civic engagement.
