It's the last day to submit LOIs for the 2024-25 grant year! We are looking forward to getting to know the many amazing nonprofits who are working tireless to support the Chicago community. For example, 2024 Grantee H.O.M.E. is using the $100,000 Impact Grant to expand its Upkeep and Repair Program, which provides home repairs and safety modifications for low-income older homeowners living on Chicago’s South and West Sides.

LOI submissions for the 2024-25 grant year are due one week from today! 2024 Grantee Center for Abused Women and their Children uses our high-impact grant to fund its Open Door Project to build out a new, more modern facility that would merge the shelter with the outreach program into a single, integrated space and add staffing to their After-Hours Domestic Violence Court Program. Think you nonprofit can benefit from our $100,000 grant? Apply before 10/25!

Please join us for a 90 minute Impactful Conversation with H.O.M.E. at one of their intergenerational housing residences in Rogers Park. The visit will include a lively and informative panel discussion with a resident, a board member and the director of H.O.M.E. as well as a tour of Nathalie Salmon House. H.O.M.E.’s mission is to provide affordable intergenerational housing and housing support services for low income seniors in Chicago. Register Here: bit.ly/3NogqR0

A $100,000 can be very impactful for your organization! Ask 2024 Grantee New Moms, who uses the grant to launch in-house mental health services, improving the availability of services, decreasing barriers to accessing support, and building rapport between participants and providers. Some of the grant also supports Housing, Job Training, College Success, and Family Support services by providing a comprehensive suite of programs to ensure that young moms have all they need to progress toward housing stability, economic mobility, and family well-being. LOIs for 2024/25 grant applications are due October 25th!
