The Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities (PSPC) announced the launch of Let’s Link Chi, a new grant-making initiative to support community-based organizations in Chicago’s neighborhoods most impacted by violence. As part of PSPC’s latest efforts to reduce violence in all of Chicago’s communities, the new initiative will provide more than $650,000 in grant funds to small nonprofits in an effort to expand accessible, year-round neighborhood-centric activities, youth programming and resources that keep residents safe. Under the new initiative, grants between $15,000 and $17,000 will be awarded to local, small nonprofit organizations engaging in activities that build community cohesion and promote safety and peace, such as neighborhood art projects, communal meals, sports programming, and more. The funds are designed to fill in gaps for organizations who may not have access to City funds due to their smaller capacity.
