Crossroads Fund
​Illinois Raise Your Hand
​Street Vendors Association of Chicago
Crossroads Fund believes that we all deserve vibrant and healthy communities. Their grantees are mobilizing Chicagoans to build strong, intersectional movements, coalitions, and campaigns that are challenging the entrenched powers that perpetuate injustice. Crossroads Fund makes grants to those fighting for justice today because they are creating the victories we will celebrate tomorrow. 

Since 1981, Crossroads Fund has served as an anchor organization for movement building across the city by moving money for grassroots organizers working at the intersections of racial, social, and economic justice in Chicago. They have been committed to using a community grantmaking model to fund bold organizing that is led by people directly impacted by the issues, strategies, and campaigns that get to the root cause of injustice.

By pooling resources from nearly 1,000 donors and engaging a community of grantmakers, Crossroads Fund helps to build movements in Chicago that many other foundations may not be able to support.

This video was used as Crossroads Fund 2019 grantee announcement. Big thanks to Crossroads Fund from SoapBox for their continued support through grant-funding and relationship building!
