WELCOMES YOU
...to make a difference today.
At The Stradford ​Foundation we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all.
June Howes Stradford Arts Foundation established in 2017.
Laurel Stradford International Scholarship established in 2026
JHSF establishes an institution for those who might not have the opportunity to study independently. We provide a retreat-like, research work venue for creative study. JHSF is dedicated to supporting and investing in emerging and established creative individuals, as a not-profit empowerment foundation for artists, curators and all manner of creative people, who would benefit from a time and place away from their everyday life. The Hyde Park experience, offers a uniquely diverse population
in the City of Chicago to inspire creativity. Art is a powerful tool that brings people of all ages, creeds, circumstances & backgrounds together. It is a source of inspiration and hope for the future.
June Howes Stradford Foundation and the Laurel Stradford International Scholarship fund is in the business of changing and shaping lives. The work we do at our Arts Organization is aimed at providing a holistic approach to solving some of our society’s biggest challenges.
We make sure our partners are empowered by creating opportunities for individuals and communities.

One Step at a Time
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to use paradigm strategies for dealing with this challenge. Education is something that we take very seriously, and our team is working each and every day to make a positive impact.
