Our Grantmaking Strategy

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.

    ENRICH CHICAGO

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $50,000

    The support of the Chicago Community Trust will be integral to ensuring that we can continue to invest in producing high-quality training and capacity-building experiences. Both through the skill and expertise of Enrich Chicago staff and through partnerships with other leaders in the field, we have succeeded at engaging our stakeholders through multiple modalities and contexts so that they may acquire the skills and perspective needed to continue the change process. In the next year, we will continue to evolve our practices to radically transform institutional life and leadership practices in the arts and culture sector. The multiple affinity spaces that have emerged in the past year have emerged as a result of Enrich training of cohort and community members. Beyond operating as spaces for networking and support, they have emerged as some of our most important organizing spaces for collective action. In the next 24 months, support from the foundation will be integral to ensuring our ability to capitalize on the movement for change and catalyze sector-wide change and accountability structures.
