    Chicago African Americans in Philanthropy

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $75,000

    Chicago African Americans in Philanthropy (CAAIP) is dedicated to fostering racial equity in philanthropy, advocating for strategic investments in Black communities, and increasing leadership opportunities for Black individuals in the social sector. In response to evolving racial and social dynamics, CAAIP aims to transition from a traditional membership organization to a hybrid model, creating a dual-purpose framework. The organization plans strategic networking and engagement events over the next year, aligning leadership and membership toward a collective impact goal in 2025. CAAIP values collaboration, building cross-sectoral alliances, and partnering with Chicago based foundations as well as grassroot organizations. The organization hosts events like "Connecting Philanthropy and Community" to celebrate successful partnerships. In the next 18 months, CAAIP will focus on enhancing membership engagement, expanding its Board of Directors, and increasing staff. The goal is to host 7 to 10 events, reaching 200 individual members with a 25% attendance rate, fostering collaboration between philanthropy, the social sector, and the Black community. Financial support is crucial for CAAIP to empower individuals of color in philanthropy, inform the broader philanthropic community, and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable philanthropic landscape in Chicago. Support from this grant will help achieve these goals while also supporting our future fundraising efforts.
