The Blowitz-Ridgeway Foundation was founded in 1984 with the proceeds of the sale of Chicago's Ridgeway Hospital, a nonprofit psychiatric facility focusing on low-income adolescents. One of its primary funding areas is the support of nonprofit agencies which provide medical and psychological services to economically disadvantaged children and adolescents. Since then, the Foundation has expanded its mission to support nonprofit agencies that provide vital comprehensive health care and housing (homeless) services to the economically disadvantaged of all ages. As of September 30, 2023, it has provided $42.5 million in grants and program-related investments to a variety of health care and housing (homeless) services agencies...
In regard to School-Based Health Centers, the Blowitz-Ridgeway Foundation prefers to fund community-based agencies that provide the health care services at schools and in communities, rather than fund schools directly.
