The Chicago Community Foundation/Chicagoland Workforce Funder Alliance
This is the re-funding application for the Chicagoland Workforce Funder Alliance. The Chicago Community Trust is a founding member and the host to the Funder Alliance. This application will support the Funder Alliance in FY21 and FY22. It re-confirms CCT as a "Leadership Funder" which means that funding (at least in part) pools with the other Leadership Funders, and that a CCT representative sits on the CWFA Management Committee to direct the funder collaborative's strategies, staff and grant-making. The application itself, as agreed to by Leadership Funders, is mainly cut and pasted from the latest version of the CWFA Leadership Funder Generic Proposal.

University of Chicago Urban Labs
Each college at the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) has created a tailored yet unified equity plan to improve outcomes for BIPOC students through microgrants. With a dedication to ongoing learning, CCC’s Racial Equity team seeks research services from the Inclusive Economy Lab to measure long-term impact. Given our strong research-practice partnership with CCC and data partnerships with key government partners, we are well positioned to co-develop an approach for learning from each microgrant and identify opportunities for rigorous evaluation, working collaboratively to draft customized evaluation plans, assess feasibility of the proposed research designs, leverage existing assets, and summarize our findings to inform future equity plans.
