Polk Bros. Foundation recently announced a shift in in our grantmaking approach to focus on three goals for Chicago: Closing the Life Expectancy Gap to address the root causes of stark disparities in health equity and personal and community safety across different neighborhoods in Chicago; Building Community Wealth Across Generations to create pathways out of poverty and toward economic opportunity for residents of Chicago’s historically disinvested communities through more equitable housing, education, and income; and Fostering a Participatory, Multiracial Democracy to ensure that the varied voices of our city are heard and can influence the decisions that affect their lives.
