Announcing our winter 2019 grantees. Field Foundation board members and life directors met on January 23rd and approved our latest round of grantees. These organizations represent our grantmaking model of Community Empowerment through Justice, Art, and Leadership Investment. This portfolio consists of organizations who are taking us into new and exciting territories. Many are recently conceived organizations with innovative and creative projects working towards fighting racial injustices, creating opportunities for immigrant and refugee communities, and envisioning a new Chicagoland. Our 2019 Winter grantees are deeply committed to developing community leaders and stronger alliances for advocacy work, and with our support (and hopefully yours too), we are confident they will continue to push boundaries to transform Chicago.
