What does it truly mean to belong—to be citizens of a neighborhood, a city, a nation, or a world? It’s a deceptively simple question, but the fierce debates it inspires (both at home and abroad) tell a different story.
The Chicago Community Trust was the lead partner for Citizens. The Trust and CHF worked together to develop programs that explore themes of civic engagement and philanthropy in all its forms—time, treasure, and talent.
