Grantseekers
An active and knowledgeable citizenry is the backbone of American democracy. Recognizing
this, the McCormick Tribune Foundation Citizenship Program seeks to develop an informed
and engaged citizenry and honor the military legacy of Col. Robert R. McCormick
by investing in programs that:
promote civic engagement and volunteerism,
civic dialogue and
honor our veterans and soldiers.
