COMPETITIVE GRANTS
CIVIC AND CULTURAL VITALITY
We are committed to enhancing the vibrancy of our culture in ways that promote regional prosperity and build community. Our grants infuse arts organizations with the resources to truly reflect Chicago’s diversity. To provide arts education to young people, in and out of schools. To become more sustainable, serving as enduring anchors in their neighborhoods. We support programs that make data and information more available to leaders and residents alike, providing common ground for conversation—and change.
