The Historic Pullman Foundation (HPF) seeks funding to build the capacity of our organization to deliver on our expanded role as the official non-profit partner of Pullman National Monument (PNM), Chicago’s only national park. Throughout its history, HPF has been led and operated by volunteers, who have worked to preserve, revitalize and make accessible to the public one of Chicago’s greatest concentrations of historic properties. This operating model is no longer sufficient. To fulfill our expanded mission and leverage PNM for community benefit, HPF must hire an executive director and other key staff to operate the organization effectively, efficiently and strategically.
