Description

The Civic Partnerships initiative, part of the MacArthur Foundation's Chicago Commitment, is designed to foster collaboration among philanthropic, corporate, government, and nonprofit organizations to tackle critical and timely challenges in Chicago. The program emphasizes advancing racial equity, building a more inclusive city, and supporting solutions identified by community members. Civic Partnerships leverages collective assets and expertise to address issues like violence prevention, civilian oversight, crisis response (e.g., COVID-19), and other unique opportunities that benefit Chicago residents. Ongoing evaluation and learning are integral to the initiative, ensuring strategies are refined for maximum impact.
