About SELMA BRESKIN KAPLAN FOUNDATION

The Selma Breskin Kaplan Foundation (SBK) is a private, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) foundation that makes grants to preselected nonprofit organizations and operates donor-facing projects such as the CITYPAK Project. SBK presents itself as an Illinois not-for-profit corporation and publicly lists EIN 36-3092852 on its website.

In recent years SBK has supported a mix of national and local nonprofit partners (examples on its site include CITYPAK, CYCLE Kids, Backline, Kiss the Ground, L39ION and Urban Voices) and its publicly filed Form 990-PF records show annual charitable disbursements in the low hundreds of thousands and total net assets in the multi-million-dollar range. The foundation’s filings indicate active grantmaking across the last 2–3 years.

SBK’s governing documents and recent tax filings indicate it typically makes contributions to a set of preselected organizations and does not accept unsolicited grant applications; it uses its resources primarily for grantmaking and project support rather than direct service delivery.
