Incorporated in 1948 in IL - Established by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago. The Joyce family wealth came from the lumber industry, including family-owned timberlands, plywood and sawmills, and wholesale and retail building material distribution facilities, which were located in the state of Louisiana and the Midwest. Until the early 1970s, assets of the foundation remained small and grants were given to the particular philanthropic interests of its founder. Upon Mrs. Kean's death in Dec. of 1972, the foundation was bequeathed ninety percent of her estate, an amount in excess of $100 million
