Our Grantees
The Chicago Teachers Union Foundation awarded grant funding to community-based organizations located throughout the Chicago area. Our 2019 Grantees offered community services that ranged from creating opportunities for unemployed youth, promoting the development of new education policies that would support the reduction of school expulsions and suspensions to offering after-school arts program and leadership training workshops for students and parents.
For 2019, Grantees are continuing success and growth with programs sure to make a significant impact in the lives of educators, youth/students, and parents.
