The Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation
The Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation was established in 1985 by Elizabeth
F. Cheney shortly before her death. Miss Cheney, a lifelong resident of the
Chicago area, was particularly interested in artistic and cultural organizations,
and she supported many such institutions during her lifetime. The primary
focus of the Foundation’s grantmaking has been on artistic excellence in
performance or presentation. The Foundation supports the musical and theater
arts, dance, museums, and public television and radio media. The Elizabeth F.
Cheney Foundation is pleased to support the Grant Park Music Festival.
