Opportunities

All open grant opportunities through The Chicago Community Trust will be shared here and updated periodically.

What We Fund

Our grants are not just checks, not just points on a map. Our grants are lifelines, connecting individual donors with individual men, women, children, families striving for a better life. These connections stretch across history, so that a visionary donor of yesterday is providing food, shelter, or health care for a Chicagoan today.
