Where We Work

The McGowan Fund makes grants in five geographic regions*. In addition, we’ve supported multi-regional and national initiatives. You can see an example of a national initiative here

Illinois: Chicago neighborhoods of Austin and North Lawndale; grant proposals by invitation only

Kansas/Missouri: Kansas City Metropolitan; grant proposals by invitation only. Effective November 1.

New York: Rochester Metropolitan and Yates County

Pennsylvania: Lackawanna County, Luzerne County

*In 2018, we discontinued grant-making in Reno, Nevada. We’re grateful for the opportunity we’ve had to work with the extraordinary organizations and citizens there.
