THANK YOU!
The Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council is a proud recipient of a
generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
The grant was awarded to the Council in 2006 as part of the
Foundation’s “Models for Change” initiative that supports promising
models of juvenile justice reform. In Illinois, four “pilot” sites were
funded by the Foundation’s “Models for Change” initiative: Ogle County,
DuPage County, Cook County, and the 12 counties of the 2nd Judicial
Circuit.
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, headquartered in
Chicago, is a private, independent grant making institution dedicated to
helping groups and individuals foster lasting improvement in the human
condition. With assets of more than $5.5 billion, the Foundation makes
grants and low-interest loans totaling approximately $225 million each
