Chicago Commitment 2023 (2 years)

Chicago Commitment

Founded in 1915, the organization was established by local business leaders to support the residents of Chicago by awarding grants to arts, social service, education, and community organizations. As part of its efforts to ensure an equitable and inclusive economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, it manages a grantmaking strategy to help smaller and less resourced community-based organizations successfully apply for, deploy, and meet the compliance requirements of grants funded through federal resources, such as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This award enables it to provide additional capacity-building grants to organizations challenged with either accessing or complying with government grants.
