Grants awarded will be between $7,500 and $20,000.Applicants must be located in the city of Chicago and serve under-resourced communities—especially on the south and west sides of the city—a certified public charity in good standing with the IRS, and looking to grow the organization’s impact in Chicago.HHF will begin accepting phase one prospective grantee surveys on May 1, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. CT, with phase one to close on May 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. CT or until the foundation gets 20 complete submissions.
