History
The Evans Family Foundation was founded in 2015 by Michael and Christine Evans. After founding Grubhub and leading it to a successful IPO, Michael, along with Christine, built the Foundation to assist organizations in advocating and providing for access to education and justice.
Christine and Michael live in Chicago, Illinois, with their eight-year-old daughter, ten-year-old dog and a new puppy. They enjoy family bike rides, sails on Lake Michigan, and reading by the fire during the long Midwest winters.
