Arthur M. Brazier Foundation Information

The Arthur M. Brazier Foundation, located in the Chicago neighborhood of Woodlawn, seeks to vastly improve the quality of life in Woodlawn and its surrounding neighborhoods. Through a dynamic process guided by people and organizations indigenous to their communities, the Arthur M. Brazier Foundation will assist and guide the Network of Woodlawn (NOW) and other not-for-profit agencies in the surrounding communities that seek to create a comprehensive and interdependent model for community building by strengthening the areas of education, public safety, economic development, and health and human services. These critical four “pillars” compose the vital infrastructure that creates a vibrant, thriving community that can sustain itself. The Arthur M. Brazier Foundation has the strength it needs to build, guide and support the full development of the Network of Woodlawn, which allows us to have measurable impact in the community. Join us in our promise to build on the legacy and life’s work of Bishop Arthur M. Brazier, right at the intersection of leadership, commitment and transformation. With your support, we will continue to create a positive, sustainable impact on Woodlawn and the surrounding communities for generations to come. We have the will, the plan, the citizen engagement and the right leadership, right now: We can do this. Dr. Byron T. Brazier, Chairman of The Board
