    The Chicago Community Foundation/Chicagoland Workforce Funder Alliance

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $175,000

    This is the re-funding application for the Chicagoland Workforce Funder Alliance. The Chicago Community Trust is a founding member of the Funder Alliance. This application will support the Funder Alliance in FY23 and FY24. It re-confirms The Chicago Community Trust as a "Leadership Funder" which means that funding (at least in part) pools with the other Leadership Funders, and that a Trust representative sits on the CWFA Management Committee to direct the funder collaborative's strategies, staff and grant-making. The application itself, as agreed to by Leadership Funders, is mainly cut and pasted from the latest version of the CWFA Leadership Funder Generic Proposal.
