Based in Chicago, Illinois, the Irving Harris Foundation is a private family foundation established in 1946. It concentrates its efforts on promoting healthy development and care of very young children and their families, strengthening the arts and culture in communities, and drawing on Jewish values to support positive social change. The foundation emphasizes exploring the core questions behind its grantees’ work and fostering partnerships grounded in inclusivity and authentic collaboration.

It operates through a strategic network of partners—including grantees, philanthropic colleagues, grassroots activists, and policy leaders across private and public sectors—to pursue shared goals. As a small foundation, it situates its work in Chicago while prioritizing cross‑sector collaboration over unilateral initiatives.
