Arie and Ida Crown Memorial (AICM) supports programs that offer opportunities to the disadvantaged, strengthen the bond of families, and improve the quality of people’s lives. In the tradition of its Founders, a core purpose of AICM is to bolster the Jewish community. Special emphasis is placed on programs that offer assistance to the disenfranchised, promote Jewish education, fortify the family unit, strengthen Jewish culture, identity, and tradition, and assist people in transition. In the spirit of social responsibility, AICM also supports philanthropic organizations that serve Chicago’s most vulnerable residents.

As of 2009, Arie and Ida Crown Memorial is operating under the name Crown Family Philanthropies. A new website is coming soon!
