I wanted to pass along that Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs has announced our next round of Charitable Trust grant applications for non-profits are now available. These grants for the Spring 2021 grant cycle will focus on three categories of non- profits: Food Programs, Housing Programs and Workforce & Economic Development. Charitable Trust grants are intended to help small non- profits with an annual budget of $1 million or less. Grant applicants located in any area where pervasive poverty, unemployment, and economic distress exist will be given special attention.
Grant applications will be accepted January 2 through March 31.
The link included provides additional information on the grant application, the application link, history of the program, questions regarding the program and whom to contact if you have any additional questions.
