New Frontiers Foundation

Supporting Chicago’s underserved youth through education

Mission Statement

To assist and support those charities which work in large part to improve the lives of underserved youths in the Chicago area by promoting their educational and social development.


The New Frontiers Foundation was established in 1995 to encourage and preserve the human spirit in the underserved children of the Chicago metropolitan area. The Foundation uses its funds to promote the educational development of youth from underserved neighborhoods in Chicago, thereby opening new doors and providing opportunity and hope when otherwise there might be none.
