Foundation Serves Up Additional Grants

By Anna Hessel

 

The Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation has been serving the needs of smaller non-profit artistic organizations for close to 70 years.  This administration supports Chicagoland, as well as the “Low Country” in South Carolina.  In the fall of 2020, they launched “Broadening Narratives”, an initiative to fund libraries, museums, and other institutions of collection.  Chicago-based non-profits which house pertinent assemblages may learn more by visiting www.gddf.org.

This stellar charity works to preserve regional compilations in the Chicago area, assist with artistic vitality, and support land conservation.  “We seek to sustain and build resilient, vital, engaged, and equitable communities in our two regions by supporting conservation, arts, and collecting organizations.”

An additional $2.1 million in grants for Chicagoland small arts establishments are being distributed as a third wave of relief for the effects of COVID-19.  Executive Director David Farren tells us, “The foundation continues to advocate for funding that helps sustain these beloved non-profit organizations and that alleviates some of the financial stress experienced by the sector.  We take our commitment to these organizations very seriously.”  Institutions will receive expedited funding on April 15th, 2022.  For further information, please see their website as cited above.
