Allison Angeloni

Director of Policy

Allison serves as the Director of Policy for the Steans Family Foundation, where she leads a portfolio of policy and ecosystem work across multiple issue areas including education, employment, and community development. In this role, she works to build upon the Foundation’s place-based approach in North Lawndale and North Chicago, addressing local and statewide systemic issues that impede or support the healthy development of individuals and communities.

Her responsibilities at Skills included policy, operations, strategic partnerships, grants management, national expansion, and program evaluation.

Previously, Allison held roles with the City of Chicago Treasurer’s Office and Civic Consulting Alliance focused on policy, research, and planning. She began her career as a business analyst with Public Consulting Group, providing financial and strategic solutions for state and local governments to optimize public healthcare delivery and outcomes.
