DONOR-POWERED PROGRAMS SUCH AS SUMMER LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND AFTERSCHOOL HOMEWORK HELP LEVERAGE OUR LIBRARY'S CITY-WIDE 81-BRANCH FOOTPRINT, RESOURCES, AND COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING TO HELP ENSURE THAT ALL OUR CITY'S CHILDREN HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO THRIVE EARLY IN LIFE AND BEYOND.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.4MInclusive Arts Exploration Programs
CHICAGO'S WORLD-RENOWNED ARTS AND CULTURE SECTOR FUELS CREATIVE, ECONOMIC, AND INNOVATIVE GROWTH. BUT MANY CHICAGOANS ARE SHUT OUT FROM THE HOLISTIC BENEFITS OF THE ARTS DUE TO HIGH COSTS. OUR CITY, IN TURN, MISSES OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ELEVATED AND ENRICHED BY THE INCLUSION OF DIFFERENT VOICES AND VIEWPOINTS. THESE PROGRAMS INVITE ALL CHICAGOANS TO EXPLORE WAYS OF EXPRESSING THEMSELVES AND IMAGINING NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR THEIR LIVES, THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND CHICAGO.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.6MDigital Literacy and Internet Access Programs
