• The Green Region grants, in partnership with Openlands, supports non-profit, educational, and public organizations in their efforts to plan for, protect, and improve open space.

• The Powering Safe Communities grants, in partnership with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, supports local municipal and public safety initiatives.

• The Powering the Arts grants, in partnership with the League of Chicago Theatres, recognizes the impact increased access to the arts has on the vibrancy of local communities.
