They are advocates, artists, educators, organizers, storytellers, and community development experts. Like our previous Leaders for a New Chicago awardees, ALL of them serve as powerful examples of what transformative change looks like at the community level.
The Leaders for a New Chicago program seeks to build a more inclusive city by recognizing leaders who are designing new approaches to civic discourse and action. Each of the 2024 awardees will receive a no-strings-attached award of $25,000, and their affiliated organizations will
receive an additional $25,000 general operating grant. This program is unique because leaders select leaders. A selection committee of previous awardees led the process to identify the 2024 cohort.
