The Abby Foundation was named after the late first lady Abigail Adams who realized the great potential of women. She understood that women should have a voice in decisions regarding this great nation. A proponent of the passage of women's right to vote, she made great strides in the pursuit of women's fundamental rights - liberties that we often take for granted.


Our Mission...

A nonprofit group, the Abby Foundation’s goal is to raise yearly funds that benefit women and children in the South and Southwest Suburbs of Chicago. For 22 years, the grassroots group has hosted an August luncheon that raises more than $50,000 each year. That money is distributed in two ways: college scholarships to south suburban women and grants to local existing organizations that assist women and children.
