We Rise Together: For an Equitable and Just Recovery was created as a multi-sectored partnership between philanthropy, business, and the public sector to catalyze an equitable economic recovery in Chicago and Cook County from the COVID recession. We Rise focuses grantmaking and engagement in communities hardest hit by COVID and those which are a majority Black and Latinx because those are the people and places disproportionately affected by the pandemic. We are funding activities in three areas that we believe will have a substantial impact on the recovery of communities and populations in the City and County. These three funding strategies include: • Investing in community anchor real estate projects in communities hit hardest by COVID • Strengthening and supporting small businesses • Supporting access to quality and sustainable employment and job access. This grant will allow us to further invest in and support real estate projects, workforce development, and small businesses that boost economic activity and growth in long disinvested areas of the Chicago region.
