==History==
The Joyce Foundation was established in 1948 by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago. She was the sole heir of the Joyce family of Clinton, Iowa. The family wealth came from the lumber industry, including family-owned timberlands, plywood and saw mills, and wholesale and retail building material distribution facilities located in the Midwest, Louisiana, and Texas. The Foundation was modestly endowed until Kean's death in 1972, when she bequeathed nearly $100 million to the Foundation.〔 Since 1972, the Joyce Foundation has awarded approximately $832 million in grants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://ar2013.joycefdn.org )〕
