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.

    Network for Young Adult Success

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $400,000

    UtmostU empowers young adults to achieve their professional aspirations by supporting degree attainment and career preparation. The Bridges to Brighter Futures two-year grant will sustain our post-secondary coaching model, providing direct coaching and critical wraparound services to 100-125 fellows in the City Colleges of Chicago, as well as those who have transferred to four-year institutions or other credentialing programs. We will also support coaches from partners across Chicago and the greater Chicagoland area to support approximately 120 two-year pathway fellows with their degree attainment. By equipping young adults from under-resourced neighborhoods with the tools and guidance to earn degrees and pursue meaningful careers, UtmostU fosters long-term economic and social mobility. Through strong partnerships, structured fellow engagement, and technology-driven support, Bridges to Brighter Futures will build upon past successes to drive economic mobility and opportunities for fellows, their families, and communities.
