Thank you for helping us
make the Chicago region brighter!
Each year, the Chicago Sun-Times Charity Trust awards grants to charities in the Chicago region that support youth in education, art and civic engagement. This year, the Trust has set up the Sun Shine Project for the greater Chicago community to "shine a light" on worthy charities and select organizations and projects that deserve a grant. The project has three phased steps - the third phase is going on right now!
Taking into account community votes and comments, the Trust will award up to a total of $500,000 in grants! Winning charities will be selected and their names will be posted on this site during the week of November 28th - December 2nd!
