Vibrant Chicago

Vibrant Chicago is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to ensuring the longevity of Chicago’s cultural spaces and programming by developing a unique community-based, multi-year partnership approach to philanthropy.

Vibrant Chicago invests in cultural spaces by establishing an invite only multi-year grant which provides recurring, flexible unrestricted funding for Chicago-based spaces who are committed to bridging the gap between art and the public.

Vibrant Chicago uses the grant as a multi-year opportunity to work one-on-one with each grantee to holistically build their capacity and support their long-term, independent growth.

Vibrant Chicago will utilize these partnerships as a research opportunity to develop downstream resources for the broader creative community that will make running a cultural space more accessible and sustainable for all.
