For more than 100 years, The Chicago Community Trust has convened, supported, funded, and accelerated the work of community members and changemakers committed to strengthening the Chicago region. From building up our civic infrastructure to spearheading our response to the Great Recession, the Trust has brought our community together to face pressing challenges and seize our greatest opportunities. Today, that means confronting the racial and ethnic wealth gap.

    People Matter

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $10,000

    People Matter is applying for general operating support for our work to end white supremacy in 3 to 5 generations. We do this by focusing on Black and Asian solidarity through grassroots organizing, racial literacy education, and direct services. We have an operating budget under $500,000. We are meeting multiple needs unaddressed by other organizations such as anti-blackness, language preservation, and supporting LGBTQ, neurodivergent, housing insecure, and otherwise at-risk API youth. We center API folks in our board, staff, and programming. We serve marginalized groups within the API community. An innovative program we are piloting is our tea business to help diversify our revenue and support work that would otherwise be unfunded-- LIFEisTEA-- a worker's co-operative to combat displacement in Chinatown, as well as a cultural event space to build solidarity between people of color on Chicago's South Side.
