NATIONAL

International Self Care Day HOT DOG DAY Jul 3rd Wednesday of 24th, July 2024 Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana Donates $25K To NWI Symphony’s South Shore Summer Music Festival

Gary, IN (July 18, 2024) Hard Rock Casino of Northern Indiana is donating $25,000 to the Northwest Indiana Symphony in support of their 2024 South Shore Summer Music Festival which presents free outdoor classical music concerts in parks across Northwest Indiana. The concert series kicks off on Friday, July 19 and continues through Saturday, August 3. All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.

This annual celebration features free outdoor Symphony concerts in seven distinct communities across Northwest Indiana, including Lansing, Gary, Crown Point, Munster, Valparaiso, Hammond, and Griffith.

The concerts offer something for everyone, with the orchestra featuring light classical and patriotic music as well as music from Broadway musicals and movies. At every concert there is also an honorary musical piece to recognize the troops and veterans.

According to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana President Matt Schuffert, “Music is an important element of the Hard Rock brand as Chicagoland’s top entertainment destination.

We’re proud to support the South Shore Summer Music Festival.

This program is a great extension of our shared love of music and further defines us as one of NW Indiana’s top community supporters.”

“We are so grateful to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana for its leading support of the 17th season of the South Shore Summer Music Festival. Hard Rock’s commitment to support the arts in the Northwest Indiana community has been outstanding.

We look forward to working with Hard Rock president Matt Schuffert in the future,” said David Mika, Executive Director of the Northwest Indiana Symphony.

This South Shore Summer Music Festival is offered at no cost to the public to provide the widest possible outreach and to allow as many local residents as possible across Lake & Porter Counties to enjoy the talents of our world class Northwest Indiana Symphony musicians. Each year up to 20,000 people throughout Northwest Indiana enjoy the South Shore Summer Music Festival with audiences at each performance ranging from 1,000 to over 4,000 people.

Festival underwriting from benefactors like Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana makes these concerts possible allowing individuals and families young and old across our Region to hear wonderful symphony music played for free by the area’s premier professional orchestra of over 55 talented musicians. For many families, it is their first introduction to the Northwest Indiana

Symphony Orchestra, a group that has served our Region since 1941.

Treasurer Pappas: Homeowners have option if they are unable to pay tax bill in full by Aug. 1 due date Cook County homeowners hit by record property tax bill hikes have the option of making partial payments if they are unable to pay their bill in full by the Aug. 1 due date, Treasurer Maria Pappas said today.

The Treasurer’s Office realizes people can’t always come up with the money in time, especially given the historic property tax increases this year in the south and southwest suburbs. If you can’t come up with all the money by Aug. 1, there is another option available to you.

“Instead of trying to come up with the full amount my office accepts and encourages partial payments for current taxes to ease the burden of paying the full amount at once,” Pappas said.

“This option may be more manageable for homeowners and small businesses to pay over several months.”

However, late payments are charged a monthly interest rate of 0.75%. Pappas spearheaded efforts in Springfield that led to state legislation that cut the monthly late penalty fee from 1.5% to .75%, or, in other words, from 18% a year to 9% a year. The

change took effect with 2023 tax bills due in 2024.

Properties with delinquencies are subject to the Annual Tax Sale, which historically occurs about 13 months after the due date.

A Treasurer’s Office analysis of Second Installment 2023 tax bills mailed July 2 to owners of nearly 1.8 million parcels showed: • The median tax bill in the south and southwest suburbs increased 19.9% from a year earlier; • Median tax bills soared by 30% or more in 15 south suburbs; • 13 of the 15 suburbs with the highest increases have mostly Black populations.

“These increases are hitting households with senior citizens and others who did not budget for such large increases and who do not have the full amount on hand to pay their tax bill,” Pappas said. “Distraught homeowners are under the impression that if they don’t pay their tax bill by Aug. 1 that they will lose their home and that’s not the case,” Pappas said.

Congressman Frank J. Mrvan announces $963,000 in Funding for Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana Hammond, IND. – On Friday, July 19, in a press conference held at Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana, Congressman Frank J. Mrvan (IN-01) and Challenger NWI Board Members announced that the Center will receive $963,000 in Community Project Funding. The funding will enable the Center to install and upgrade its Mission Control simulators, furthering its mission to provide inspiring and engaging STEM education opportunities for students throughout Indiana.

“Congratulations to the leaders of the Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana for your successful effort to secure this federal funding to continue your mission to advance STEM education across our region,” said Congressman Frank J. Mrvan. “I am privileged to collaborate with local community leaders to acquire new technology and expand educational development opportunities for children throughout Northwest Indiana.”

The announcement this morning was met with enthusiasm and applause from local community leaders, educators, and Challenger summer camp students. The event highlighted the transformative impact this funding will have on the Center’s ability to deliver high-quality STEM programs to approximately 15,000 students annually.

“Today is a stellar day for our organization and the students we serve,” said Lara Bates,

Executive Director of the Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana. “With this federal funding, we can enhance our resources and broaden our impact, bringing cutting-edge STEM education to even more students. This investment in our Mission Control simulators will ensure that we continue to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.”

The project, set to begin in the coming weeks, includes the complete refurbishment of the Center’s two mission control rooms. This will involve updating all furnishings, fittings, fixtures, as well as upgrading the computing and audio/visual equipment that drives the simulated missions. The new simulators will align with NASA’s mission objectives, allowing students to participate in Moon, Mars, Comet, and Earth-based simulated space missions.

The Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana has been a beacon of educational excellence and innovation for 25 years. This funding will enhance their already outstanding programs, ensuring that even more students have the opportunity to explore and excel in STEM fields. The Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana looks forward to the positive impact this project will have on the local educational community and beyond as they continue to remain committed to building a brighter future, one student at a time.

On July 21, 2024, President Biden formally announced his withdrawal from the 2024 Presidential Election. Biden’s plans were to get elected again to serve a second term.

However, his plans changed within weeks.

This announcement marked a change for Vice-President Kamala Harris, who was thrust into running for president. Harris’ plans change within days or maybe hours.

Change can occur in less than one minute.

Both of their lives were changed forever.

Even for us, change is an inevitable part of life, and often occurs when we least expect it. It sometimes brings positive opportunities or challenges to our foundation. Change alters life for good or bad, or from slightly to drastically. How we view change and our ability to adapt to change, have the most influence on our overall adjustment and resilience to cope with change. Change can alter our lives in ways we may not have anticipated.

Unfortunately, life changes often despite our best efforts to exert some control.

Sometimes, our circumstances change unexpectedly, abruptly, and against our will.

No one plans for bad news, but they must cope with it. Even good changes involve adapting and accommodating prior plans.

Life is not set and can change at any moment, like it or not.

Life’s changes can range from joyful good surprises to unwelcomed bad disruptions.

Adjustment is necessary for all changes. For example, receiving a promotion at work, starting a business, or welcoming a new family member are positive changes that typically evoke excitement, anticipation, and joy. However, good changes can bring unexpected emotions of anxiety and doubt.

Change can create fear of the unknown and second-guessing the situation.

It’s necessary to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge your feelings and why you are exhibiting them, especially the negative emotions to good changes. Then focus on the positive aspect of the change.

Reflect on the positive reasons why this good change will improve your life. Focus on the positive aspects and dismiss your fears. Don’t listen to the fears! Find a support system with family and friends. Read the Bible and find comfort in God. Listen to motivational and inspirational material. If you have an opportunity to provide input to the change this can potentially, reduce your anxiety and will help you adapt.

Unfortunately, life also presents unwanted changes, such as losing a job or having financial difficulties. No one expects the pink slip from the downsizing. No one expects higher living expenses, increases in property taxes, or unexpected expensive car repairs.

These changes can be devastating and make you feel uncertain about the future and vulnerable. Managing and adapting to change involves accepting that not all circumstances are our fault or within our control.

Calmly realistically analyze the situation to draw out any potential positives, to limit and control negative emotions. Find ways to manage your emotions, seek support, and find alternatives to improve the situation.

Taking a proactive approach will provide a sense of regaining control and stability.

Life’s changes are inevitable, either positive or negative. They can impact us in various ways from joy to sadness. However, good or bad, how we adapt and respond to change will shape our ability to be resilient.

Acknowledging our emotions and the impact the change has on our lives, seeking an appropriate support system, and remaining positive, can assist us in managing change with strength and encouragement. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us “For I know the plans I have for you’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Trust in God’s plans even if you don’t understand.

Financial Advice Column

Look for different ways to borrow and use credit SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN Like most Americans, you will probably take on debt at some point in your life. And by managing debt wisely, you can potentially improve your saving and spending habits – and even your ability to invest for the future.

Let’s look at some of the common options available for borrowing and using credit: • Credit card – When used carefully – and not over-used – a credit card can be a valuable tool, especially if you travel frequently.

Many people tend to stick with the same credit card without exploring what else is out there. Try to find a card that rewards you in as many ways as possible – and then keep your eyes open occasionally for even better rewards as they can change from time to time. Obviously, you want a card with a low interest rate, although ideally, you’d like to pay the card off each month without incurring any interest. You also should take a close look at a card’s other features. Are you getting a competitive amount of mileage points? How much is your annual fee? Do you have a generous “cash back” program?

Do you have access to “extras,” such as airport lounges?

• Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit – As the names suggest, a home equity loan or line of credit lets you tap into the equity you’ve built up in your home, which can be considerable, especially if you’ve owned your home for a long time.

A home equity loan provides you with a lump sum, which you will repay over a set term with a fixed interest rate. A home equity line of credit usually carries a variable rate, although you might find a lender offering a fixed-rate option. You can generally draw on your loan or line of credit for any purpose, but keep in mind that unless you’re using the funds for home improvements or additions,

your interest payments are generally not tax deductible.

• Securities-based lending – Just as a home equity line of credit lets you borrow against the equity in your home, a securities-based loan, such as a margin loan, lets you borrow against the value of your investments, including stocks, exchange traded funds and mutual funds. Some people take out margin loans to purchase more investments, but you can use the money for any purpose.

The margin loan process is usually not complex and when you make repayments, you’re paying yourself back. However, you should approach a margin loan with caution because if you borrow too much, the value of your margin account may fall below the maintenance requirement – the minimum dollar amount you must keep in your margin account after you’ve started taking money out. When this happens, your brokerage institution may issue a maintenance call that requires you to either deposit more money or marginable securities or sell some of the investments in your account.

Ultimately, when weighing your borrowing and credit options, you’ll want to evaluate several factors: the interest rate you’ll be paying, the purpose for taking on the debt, your ability to repay it without impinging on your cash flow, and so on. With careful thought and planning, and, if needed, help from a financial professional, you can make your debt work for you – and not the other way around.

Heart Smart JOSH BOOTSMA The story of Jonah and the whale is part of God’s larger story of redemption.

You see, Jonah had been a prophet for some time already, although he’s only mentioned in one other verse in the Bible (2 Kings 14:25).

In the opening verses of Jonah, God calls him to go to the Assyrian capital city of Nineveh and “preach against it.”

Now, as a prophet of God, Jonah knows that God promised Abraham in Genesis 12 that not only would Israel become a “great nation,” but that they were to be a blessing to “all peoples on earth.” Jonah also knows that God is “a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” (Exodus 34:6) In other words, Jonah has a hunch about what God wants to do in the city of Nineveh. God’s plan is to bring about a change of heart and spare the city from destruction.

And Jonah hates it.

Nineveh was a city known for its idolatry and evil. It was the capital city of Assyria, Israel’s greatest rival at the time (and the nation that would eventually conquer it.)

So Jonah fled. He bought a ticket for a ship to bring him to a city hundreds — perhaps even over a thousand — miles in the opposite direction of Nineveh. And you know what happened next in the story of Jonah and the whale.

God still calls his people to seemingly impossible tasks.

He calls us to love those we hate. He calls us to be kind to people across the political aisle. He commands us to love profoundly people we disagree with fundamentally. His plan for even the most evil of people can be beautiful and lifechanging.

So, will you answer God’s call? Or will it take a whalesized detour to convince you?

Forgot Medicare Part B Deductible

Real Estate Questions & Answers

WOODROW WILCOX On July 12, 2024, I wrote a letter to a client who forgot what she had bought through our insurance agency. The client is from Lansing, Illinois. With some editing to protect her privacy, here is the letter that I sent to remind her of what she bought.

You sent a bill to one of our offices asking us to explain it. That office forwarded the bill to me.

I reviewed the papers and your letter to us.

Then, I phoned your insurance company to learn what it knew of this bill. Here is the result.

The original bill was $408. Your insurance company got the information about the claim from Medicare on 02/15/2024. Medicare approved a charge of $72.93. Medicare paid $35.10. Your insurance paid $8.60.

Medicare ruled that $29.23 was part of your Medicare Part B annual deductible for 2024. You bought a Plan G Medicare supplement policy. All Plan G policies, sold by any insurance company, DO NOT PAY THE MEDICARE PART B ANNUAL DEDUCTIBLE.

2OFF

$

There are policies that DO pay the Part B annual deductible but those policies cost more. You did not buy a more expensive policy. When you chose a Plan G policy, you agreed to pay the Part B annual deductible.

The $29.23 is part of that.

If you have any questions, contact the insurance agent who helped you.

Thank you for allowing us to help you with your insurance needs.

This insurance agency helps all our clients who forgot the details of what they bought with a similar explanatory letter. It is how we show clients that we really do care to treat them well.

Note: Woodrow Wilcox is the senior medical bill case worker at Senior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana.

He has helped clients of that firm save over three million dollars by fighting mistakes and fraud in the Medicare billing system.

Also, Wilcox wrote the book SOLVING MEDICARE PROBLEM$ which is available through book stores and online.

YOU LOVE IT. YOU WANT IT.

CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: Starting to prepare our home for sale. Any tips and suggestions?

Answer: Here are must do’s, in no particular order: 1. Draw buyers inside your home by having beautiful curb appeal. Cut & edge grass. Trim bushes. Add flowers if in season.

Clear out the yard junk. Walk out to the curb and look at your home. If you think it looks beautiful, congrats. If it is just ok to you, keep beautifying.

2. Declutter. Home should look spacious and roomy. Look at each room, what looks too busy? Fix it. Remove the clutter from your refrigerator.

3. Remove personal photos on walls and tables. A few are ok because they help make the house look like a home.

4. Your potential buyer may be offended by political and religious signs and décor.

Expressing your views and beliefs is not good when selling your home.

5. Your kitchen is the key selling point.

Clear the dishes and clutter from counters.

Make it sparkling clean and appealing to prepare meals.

6. Not everyone loves pets. Some may fear the pet is lurking in the home and be hesitant to view and leave early. Some are allergic to

Fido or Felix. Remove feeding bowls, cat litter and odors associated with pets.

7. Remove portable heaters and fans. It screams that the house doesn’t get warm or cool enough, and that there might be something wrong with your Hvac system.

8. People do not want to live in a jungle.

Make sure there are not too many plants.

9. Tacky Wallpaper is a major turn off to buyers. They consider wallpaper ugly and removal a major task, and it usually is.

10. Paint so the home looks fresh. Fix scratched, damaged and old paint from trim.

11. Remove old water stains. You will lose a lot of buyers if you don’t address water stains and marks.

12. Clean, clean, clean! A sparkling clean home grabs a buyer’s attention (and makes up a bit) for the lack of updates.

13. One last thing, Clean, Clean, Clean.

In case we didn’t mention that!

Giannoulias Legislative Initiatives Signed into Law Legislation initiatives championed by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias aimed at preventing the theft of catalytic converters and improving road safety were signed into law today

by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

Sponsored by State Representative Jay Hoffman (113th District-Belleville) and State Senator Michael Hastings (19th District-Frankfort), HB4589 makes it more difficult for thieves to sell stolen catalytic converters.

The law requires recyclable metal dealers to keep a record of the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the catalytic converter itself. In addition, the seller of a catalytic converter must now provide a copy of the certificate of title or registration indicating ownership of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter was removed, making it easier for law enforcement to investigate potential crimes.

“Illinoisans should feel more confident that their vehicles are better protected when parking on the street or in parking garages,” Giannoulias said. “This legislation will deter thieves by requiring scrap metal dealers to keep detailed records when purchasing them and give police more tools and resources to determine where the part came from.”

“For too long Illinois residents from Chicago to Metro East have been the targets of the theft of catalytic convertors because the parts have simply been too easy to sell,” Hoffman said. “This legislation ensures that all catalytic converters sales to recyclable metal dealers are conducted by the legitimate owner of the vehicle and its parts.”

“This legislation will serve as a strong disincentive to those considering stealing, selling or buying crucial vehicle parts,” Hastings said. “Illinois families should not have worry about facing the unexpected and unacceptable cost of replacing a catalytic converter stolen from their primary means of transporting their children to school, their groceries from the

store and completing other day-to-day tasks.”

Catalytic converter theft is a crime that leaves victims facing hundreds to thousands of dollars in unexpected vehicle repairs.

In recent years, the values of platinum, palladium and rhodium, the precious metals found in catalytic converters, has skyrocketed leading to a larger incentive for theft.

The catalytic converter theft spike during the COVID-19 pandemic amounted to a 288% increase from 2020 to 2022, according to Illinois Motor Vehicle Hijacking and Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention and Insurance Verification Council’s 2023 Annual Report. This bill makes it more difficult for recyclable metal dealers to purchase stolen catalytic converters and easier for law enforcement to investigate.

House Bill 5370 HB5370, sponsored by State Representative Jay Hoffman (113th District-Belleville) and State Senator Celina Villanueva (12th District-Chicago) enhances “Scott’s Law,” making Illinois roads safer for all users.

Scott’s Law, also called the “Move Over” law, requires motorists approaching a stopped emergency vehicle to proceed with caution and yield the right of way by moving out of the lane adjacent to the emergency vehicle. If that’s not possible – such as if the road only is two lanes – drivers are expected to reduce speed as they pass the scene.

This new legislation will ensure that individuals operating a vehicle yield the right-of-way by making a lane change AND reducing their speed when approaching the scene of an accident, emergency or construction zone.

This requirement to both make a lane change and reduce speed will result in safer road conditions for Illinois emergency responders, construction workers and all Illinois residents that depend on safe roads.

The day’s main events will revolve around a blood donation campaign and kidney health checks. These activities are being presented in collaboration with Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. (Nu Pi Chapter), Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois and state Sen. Kimberly A. Lightford. Additional supporters of the Summer Screening Series event include Black Men United, Fathers Who Care, Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network, and Habilitative Systems, Inc. The free July 27th blood drive and kidney screenings will be held on the 6th floor of the hospital. The brothers of Nu Pi Chapter will support the blood drive, which provides critical opportunities for blood donations within the African American community. Concurrently, the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois will offer health screenings for kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Attendees can also enjoy a Community Resource Fair located in the parking lot at 645 North Central Avenue (enter on Harrison Street), offering music, fun activities, health education and community resources.

“Decades ago, segregation in blood donations perpetuated mistrust and disparities. Today, Loretto Hospital is committed to inclusivity and actively addressing health care disparities by encouraging more donations from various communities, particularly African Americans,” Loretto Hospital President Tesa Anewishki said.

Statistics underscore the urgent need for blood donations within the African American community, as one in three African American blood donors is a match for patients with sickle cell disease — a profound statistic highlighting the critical role that

African American blood donors play in saving lives. In addition, 51% of African Americans have Type O blood, higher than the average 45% of Caucasians.

“We are proud to demonstrate our commitment to community health and unity through our active participation in the blood drive,” said Jabari Saunders, president of the Nu Pi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. “By donating blood, we honor the memory of Dr. Charles Drew, a fraternity member widely recognized as the pioneer of blood banking.”

By donating blood on July 27, people can directly impact lives in the Austin community, ensuring that patients — especially those with sickle cell disease — receive the life-saving blood they urgently need. As such, this blood drive is not just about donations, it is about community solidarity and health care equity, ensuring that every patient receives the compassionate care they deserve.

FENNEMA

Eugene (Gene) P. Fennema, 75 years old, from South Holland, IL went to his eternal home in glory on July 14, 2024.

Gene was a devoted husband to his beloved wife of 52 years, Joan nee Loerop.

They married shortly after his service from 1969 to 1971 in the United States Army.

Together they lovingly raised four children, Sheri (Daniel) Ryken, Patricia (Thorsten) Rausch, Kathleen (Troy) Hubers, and Michael (Stephanie) Fennema. His work ethic and loyalty in his 30-year career at Ozinga Brothers and 10 years at Riverside Pumping served as an example to his children as well as all the support and encouragement he gave them in all their various activities.

During his child raising years Gene also served his church in various roles as Cadet counselor, elder and deacon, as well as serving on the school boards of Calvin Christian School and Illiana Christian High School.

Born in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago on May 25, 1949, to the late Peter and Dorothy (Zylstra) Fennema, he was raised as the middle child of his four sisters, Sharon (Tony) Verhagen, Donna (late Larry) VanderWall, Carol (Ed) DeBoer, and Debra (Jim) DeBoer.

Gene loved every member of his family well. His 25 grandchildren and 14 greatgrandchildren, who he was all proud of and were a source of joy, will remember their caring, funny grandpa as a man who enjoyed woodworking, playing games with them, camping, biking, and putting together puzzles.

He also showed his love for Jesus in how he served people he did not know or would never meet. In his retirement years, he spent weeks at a time at the Young Life camp, Timberwolf, making repairs and keeping up the grounds in the off season. He helped to make beds through Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to benefit families who could not afford beds. He enjoyed all the hours he spent volunteering at Samaritans Purse and the Children’s Hunger Fund.

Visitation Wednesday, July 17, 2024 from 3:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Smits Funeral Home, 649 E. 162nd St. South Holland, IL. Funeral service Thursday, July 18, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. at Cottage Grove Christian Reformed Church 16556 Cottage Grove Ave. South Holland, IL with Rev. Dr. Mark Vander Hart officiating.

Interment Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery – Elwood, IL. Memorial contributions may be given to Mid-America Reformed Seminary (229 Seminary Dr. Dyer, IN 46311) or Cottage Grove CRC. For further information please contact 219-322-7300 or visit our online guestbook and obituary at www.

IFF announces second round of funding, additional $3 million awarded to Chicago’s Cultural Treasures grantees Administered by IFF, Chicago’s Cultural Treasures (ChiTreasures) announced today a second round of grant funding, totaling $3 million, to be distributed to the 40 current ChiTreasures grantees.

Launched in 2021 as a regional component of the Ford Foundation’s America’s Cultural Treasures, and co-created with the Chicago arts community, ChiTreasures is a raceconscious initiative that aims to strengthen, grow, and preserve organizations whose mission is to enable the creation, preservation, and dissemination of art stemming from BIPOC traditions, leadership, and culture.

The first round of grantmaking awarded $14 million to 40 BIPOC-led and -focused arts and culture organizations representing a diverse group of artforms, neighborhoods, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and contributions to Chicago’s history, vibrancy, and identity. These organizations serve as important neighborhood anchors, helping to ensure that experiences and stories from the communities they serve are shared and heard.

In addition to the funding, grantees were provided technical assistance to help further support their sustainability, covering topics such as fundraising, board development, marketing communications, financial management, and facilities planning and support. Funding is provided by the Ford Foundation as part of America’s Cultural Treasures; philanthropist MacKenzie Scott; and a Chicago-based funding collaborative comprising The Joyce Foundation, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Polk Bros. Foundation, Terra Foundation for American Art, and Walder Foundation.

“One of the goals of ChiTreasures is to provide the grantees with opportunities to reach financial sustainability – through grants and technical assistance,” said Tara Townsend, president of IFF’s Social Impact Accelerator. “Both grants and technical assistance have been provided over the last three years, but there is a need for more. We are excited to be able to award another round of funding to these organizations to further support their futures.”

“Funding for organizations that are elevating the traditions and culture of people from historically marginalized backgrounds and disinvested communities has never been sufficient. We need to do more to lift up organizations that have enriched Chicago for generations,” said Tara Magner, director of the MacArthur Foundation’s Chicago Commitment Program, on behalf of the Chicago-based funding collaborative. “The Chicago funders made a commitment to support Chicago’s rich arts and culture scene, and this next round of grants provides an opportunity to continue to do that.”

According to an October 2023 report from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, the past few years have seen a decline in philanthropic, private, and public funding for arts and culture organizations. This second round of funding aims to counter that by providing additional support to the current 40 ChiTreasures grantees and reflects ChiTreasures’ commitment to continuing to support Chicago’s BIPOC arts and culture scene.
