ILLUMINATION FUND

The Illumination Fund's office is an extension of the foundation's mission and values, with contemporary art, exhibits by our grantees, and furniture that supports community artisans and social enterprises. The space was designed by BKSK Architects to "illuminate" community and social justice issues and to spark creativity... In 2008, the Illumination Fund made Service one of its first focus areas. The Illumination Fund has made grants of approximately $4 million for service-related organizations and initiatives. The Illumination Fund's Service initiatives included support for a national mobilization and infrastructure, and multiple initiatives in New York City in partnership with City agencies and nonprofits... The Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund strives to increase access and opportunity for all New Yorkers and foster healthy and vibrant communities. The fund uses an equity lens to develop initiatives and to issue grants, driven by the principle that everyone should have access..
