Thank you to everyone who joined Chicago Foundation for Women this #GivingTuesday to invest in innovative strategies to build safe, just, and healthy communities for all women and girls in our region.
Thanks to your generous support, and a matching gift from a CFW Giving Circle member, this #GivingTuesday CFW raised over $20,000 to increase our investments in women and girls in the Chicago region.
The votes are in, and we are pleased to announce that the CFW community has selected A Long Walk Home to receive a special $10,000 #GivingTuesday grant to support youth-led campaigns in Chicago by creating a toolkit that would share the tools participants have learned with other young people to combat sexual violence in their own communities.
CFW will also award increased grants of $3,000 to runner-up Chicago Volunteer Doulas and $1,250 to Assata's Daughters, A Safe Place, 360 Youth Services, and Brave Space Alliance to support their innovative work improving the lives of women and girls in the Chicago region, and invest any remaining funds in innovative grantmaking to support women and girls before the end of this year.
