Based in Chicago, Illinois, the Robert R. McCormick Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on fostering educated, informed, and engaged citizens. Its programs span civics, education, journalism, veterans, and community initiatives, together with Cantigny Park and its museums. The foundation traces its origins to 1955, established as a charitable trust upon the death of Colonel Robert R. McCormick, longtime editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune. It is regarded as one of the larger foundations in the United States. In January 2026, it announced a collaboration with Cohen Veterans Network to support the opening of a mental health clinic serving service members, veterans, and their families in Kansas. Through these activities, the foundation continues to support journalism, education, veterans and civic engagement, alongside Cantigny Park offerings.
