Center for Neighborhood Technology
CNT seeks a $50,000 general operating support grant from the Chicago Community Trust to offset administrative and compliance costs associated with its $6 million grant from Cook County, which received funding from The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This grant funds the planning and programmatic costs associated with implementing the RainReady Calumet Corridor plans in Cook County’s south suburbs. RainReady works with communities and property owners to identify and implement solutions to urban flooding. The investments in community infrastructure resulting from this grant will reduce flooding and build resilience to climate change while creating more beautiful neighborhoods, new green jobs, outdoor recreation opportunities, retail activity, and habitat conservation. Funding from the Trust will enable CNT to offset the true costs of administering this grant – beyond the de minimis indirect cost rate of 10 percent -- and ensure that CNT can maintain an administrative structure that allows us to serve as the prime applicant on government awards, ensuring that our community-based partners can participate as subrecipients and have access to funds for which they’d otherwise be ineligible.

Endeleo Institute Inc
Under the 95th Street Strategy Plan Endeleo has involved over 400 residents of Washington Heights and surrounding communities in planning what it will take to make 95th Street an economically viable, safe, shopping, dining and walkable corridor. A smaller group of volunteers, 14 to 16, meet to plan the issues to be discussed at the larger meetings that involved the 400 residents and others. The recommendations from the larger meetings will be presented to Endeleo and the City Department of Planning for consideration and implementation. The Community Action Group (CAG) with the support of Community Table (CT) was instrumental in the planning and development of the 95th street Strategic Plan. That is the Plan we mow must use to engage and empower residents of the study area/ s. Endeleo's pivot roles were to identify residents from the study areas (Neighborhoods)who would/could assist team leaders in planning the agenda, recruiting residents for the meetings and convening the meetings. Endeleo, along with the CT members, is now planning to generate the kind of civic, residential, economic, and political of support that will be needed to implement the plan.
