    WIEBOLDT FOUNDATION

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $350,000

    The 2021 Chicago Community Organizing Capacity Building Initiative seeks to fill an unfortunate void that exists. Intensive capacity-building funds are hard to come by, yet essential to strengthen, stabilize and enhance the impact of community organizing nonprofits. In this regard, these entities would function like any business; better equipment, stronger skills, and streamlined operations contribute to an improved bottom line – measured here in overall impact rather than profit. Additionally, fostering collaboration among a cohort of community organizing groups is important to the sustainability of the ecosystem. Specifically, organizational capacity will be built in 4 areas: operations; organizing; resources; and collaborations.
