We are honored and grateful for the support of the Resilient Chicago Fund and The Chicago Community Trust as we work to prevent and end homelessness.

Today, the Resilient Chicago Fund (RCF) announced $5.5 million in grants to 17 nonprofit-led projects strengthening the Chicago region's safety net. These grants back teams testing better ways to deliver essential services—so residents across Chicago and Cook County can stay connected to food, housing, healthcare, and safety services.

"Philanthropy can move quickly, take smart risks, and stand alongside nonprofits and government to help good ideas take root," said Trust President & CEO Andrea Sáenz.

“We can do better for those who rely on benefits and those who deliver them. Through these grants, we hope to design new models for long-term solutions," said RCF Executive Director Daniel Tollefson.

A pooled fund housed at The Chicago Community Trust and co-chaired by the MacArthur Foundation, RCF is backed by a coalition of philanthropic partners committed to moving beyond crisis response toward lasting solutions.

Due to the wildfire smoke and poor air quality across the city, we've made the decision to postpone tonight's happy hour.

While we were looking forward to seeing everyone, we want to prioritize everyone's health and safety. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll take care and stay safe.

In the meantime, we welcome you all to join us for our upcoming orientation sessions. You can find these and sign up on our website: https://allchicago.org/about-all-chicago/associate-board

We'll be in touch soon with details about a rescheduled date, and we look forward to getting together under better conditions!

All Chicago and our Youth Action Board were proud to be in attendance at Capitol Hill along with our partners at BEDS Plus , Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County , Housing Forward and many others for the National Conference on ending Homelessness.
