At Community Memorial Foundation, we are dedicated to measurably improving health – of individuals, of families, of non-profit organizations, of communities.  As a philanthropic resource in the western suburbs of Chicago since 1995, we have been privileged to grow in partnership with the communities we serve.  Whether increasing healthcare access to the uninsured, meeting the emergency needs of our communities, or strengthening the effectiveness of organizations, CMF fulfills its mission through the work and dedication of our grantee partners.

At Community Memorial Foundation, we strive to be more than grant makers; we strive to be change makers. Likewise, we strive to be more than asset builders; we strive to be community builders. As philanthropists, we acknowledge that meaningful change rarely happens in a hurry. We acknowledge that philanthropy is a calculated investment made with the expectation that humankind - or some small part of it - will be profoundly, measurably and permanently changed for the better as a direct result of the contribution.
