  Butler Family Fund: The First Ten Years
  Butler Family Fund: The First Ten Years
Winner of the Silver Award in the 2005 Wilmer Shields Rich Awards for Excellence in Communications
   

The Butler Family Fund is concerned with homelessness and criminal justice reform. Our vision is of a world where being low-income does not mean having to choose between housing and food, and where everyone can have faith in our system of justice. The Board is particularly interested in supporting organizations that are committed to addressing these problems through systemic change, advocacy, policy reform, and innovative direct service programs. The Fund also has a smaller, Board-administered program in the area of global warming.

The Fund gives preference to organizations with small or modest size operating budgets and to projects located in the following geographic areas: California, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., and London. The Board of the Butler Family Fund meets twice a year to make funding decisions, once in the late autumn and once in the late spring.

The Butler Family Fund does not accept unsolicited proposals or letters of inquiry.
