The Monroe Foundation was formed in 1991 to provide technical assistance in starting community and economic development projects within low-income communities and provide emerging groups with seed grants through the PACT Project (Partnership For Assisting Community Transformation).<\/p>\nThe Monroe Foundation is a publicly supported not-for-profit community and enterprise development intermediary. We seek\u00a0to educate, link and fund community development projects within low-income communities in that State of Illinois.\n\nThe foundation supports small business start-ups and financing through lending partnerships with Marquette Bank, and US Bank. Our current supporters are Bank of America, Citibank, Marquette Bank, PNC Bank, US Bank, Field Foundation of Illinois, and Woods Fund of Chicago.\n\nWe also provide\u00a0small business development seminars through the small business development \u201cBoot Camp\u201d Program, funded by a grant from Citibank.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
