Madonia Named Chairman of Board for Safer Foundation
After serving for many years as Treasurer of the Safer Foundation Board and most recently as Co-Chair of the Board, Anthony Madonia has been named Chairman of the Board for the Safer Foundation Board of Directors. Madonia has long pledged to help this unique organization offer second chances to people with criminal records. The Safer Foundation provides comprehensive re-entry assistance in Chicagoland and the Quad Cities, as well as advocating for generations to come through the Safer Policy Institute.
Since 1972, Safer Foundation’s mission has focused on supporting justice-involved individuals through a full spectrum of services. From training and education to reentry support and wellness, Safer assists people with criminal records to become employed, law-abiding members of the community and as a result, reduce recidivism. Safer serves over 5,300 clients annually, 3,200 of whom obtain employment.

Founded on Belief in a Better Way Forward-Madonia as Chairman in the Challenge
At the very core of Safer Foundation is our belief in an unobstructed road to reentry. From our start in 1972, our mission has been to pave that road with stabilizing support, employment, education, and advocacy that empower justice-involved individuals to achieve their true potential. Bernie Curran and Gus Wilhelmy establish Safer Foundation in Chicago, IL. We continue to impact change at the individual-, community-, state-, and national-level, and our track record has earned us recognition by Charity Navigator as an organization worthy of clients’ and donors’ trust and confidence. Above all, we remain focused on turning our vision into a reality: Equal opportunities for people with criminal records thereby improving the socio-economic well-being of the individual, their families, and their communities.
