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. Today, that means confronting the racial and ethnic wealth gap.

The goal is to create a network of trusted allies that the AANHPI community could rely on. CASL’s Anti-Hate Action Center and SAAPRI have been working to fight and prevent hate in different ways. If granted the additional financial support for planning purposes, together, we would expand the foundation and infrastructure we have built around rapid response and data gathering with a coalition to reach more members of the AANHPI community.
