You're Invited to a Conversation on Investing in Transformative Change in Chicago's Neighborhoods

Join The Chicago Community Trust on April 8 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Crain's Chicago Business

On Chicago's South and West sides, new real estate investments are opening their doors, sparked by the wave of COVID-era recovery funding. These projects are bringing new jobs and services, improving foot traffic and sales, and contributing to local vibrancy. How can Chicago build on this momentum to transform neighborhood economies - and, in turn, strengthen our entire region?

Join us for a discussion on how philanthropy, business and community are partnering in new ways to drive economic growth in our neighborhoods - from the development of local business hubs to models for shared ownership and control of community assets. Learn how you can play a part in supporting fresh approaches to building a thriving city that works for everyone.

$35 Tickets. Breakfast will be served.
