Chicago American Indian Community Collaborative

Woods Fund Chicago - Native American Summit. This fund helped us achieve our goal to be heard in Springfield, IL. We are able to create a real infrastructure to be ahead of the issues, rent vans to Springfield and prep and educate our community properly. With this fund, we expect better representation for Native people in the legislative process, connecting with other Native people in other communities who have helped craft similar bills for Native causes, building leaders and activists for the next generatio, and greater voice and fair chance for the Native people.

Common Cause Illinois - this grant allowed us to support a part-time facilitator to manage the organization.
