Announcing 2023 Employment & Entrepreneurship Grants

Last Wednesday, the Christopher Family Foundation approved grants for 22 organizations in our Employment & Entrepreneurship program area. Many of these partners are working to create short pathways to family-sustaining careers for individuals with multiple barriers to employment. Many also have a particular geographic focus of Chicago’s West Side. We are honored to be a philanthropic partner with these excellent organizations.
