During our centennial milestone, we celebrated the spirit of Chicago by inspiring our fellow residents and community organizations to strive every day to make metropolitan Chicago a prosperous, inclusive region where everyone has the opportunity to achieve his or her dreams. 2016 A N N U A L R E P O R T 3 Five photographers beautifully rendered our magnificent diversity and passionate embrace of community in the photography collection, We Are, the Trust’s tribute to the people and place we love. Going forward, we build on a foundation one hundred years in the making, leading with a bold plan–created by our Executive Committee, with the vital input of thousands of Chicagoans through our On the Table community conversations–that offers a new expression of the Trust’s commitment to the communities we serve: Inspiring Philanthropy – Celebrating the spirit of giving by joining together to become the country’s most philanthropic region Engaging Residents – Generating new models of collaboration with one another for the common good Leading Change – Working with others to solve the most pressing issues and responding to the big opportunities within our communities At the heart of the Trust is our commitment to service: service to those whose generosity benefits current and future generations, and service to those who make good use of those funds to transform lives and neighborhoods. For example, through the Executive Committee’s new vision, we transformed the Trust’s regular discretionary grant making into general operating grants. GO Grants simplify the business of grant seeking so that nonprofits can spend more of their time doing the work that matters most: providing essential services to our region. 4 THE C H I C AG O C O M MUNIT Y T R U S T In partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and Calvert Foundation, we launched Benefit Chicago–a new investment vehicle that helps donors turn their dollars into social impact while generating a financial return. We also added a bit of rocket fuel to On the Table with the Acting Up Awards–small grants that help On the Table participants turn their ideas into action. And, in collaboration with our fellow foundations, we responded rapidly to the escalation of violence with the Chicago Fund for Safe and Peaceful Communities. These are just a few examples of how the Trust continues to innovate and find better ways of serving our donors and community. We do so while never wavering from our enduring promise to deliver exceptional stewardship with steadfast integrity. We hope you enjoy this collection of stories that reflect the generosity of our donors and the ingenuity of our nonprofits that inspired us to chart this bold new course.

By amplifying the power of collective giving, the Trust encourages everyone to join together and expand the community of generosity. Our goal is to create the country’s most philanthropic region, inspiring more people to give more of their time, skills and resources to enrich the quality of life throughout our region. The Trust seeks to co-invest with individuals and organizations–leveraging our scale and capacity so that by giving together, the impact of each investment is multiplied. We serve those who dream of a brighter future. Right: At Deneen School of Excellence, volunteers taking part in Chicago Cares’ citywide day of service paint a map of the world.

  • From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020
    From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science April 28, 2020 The Chicago Municipal Elections of 2019 sent earthquake-like tremors through the Chicago political landscape. The biggest shock waves caused a major upset in the race for Mayor. Chicago voters rejected Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board President and Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party. Instead they overwhelmingly elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to be their new Mayor. Lightfoot is a black lesbian woman and was a partner in a major downtown law firm. While Lightfoot had been appointed head of the Police Board, she had never previously run for any political office. More startling was the fact that Lightfoot received 74 % of the vote and won all 50 Chicago's wards. In the same elections, Chicago voters shook up and rearranged the Chicago City Council. seven incumbent Aldermen lost their seats in either the initial or run-off elections. A total of 12 new council members were victorious and were sworn in on May 20, 2019 along with the new Mayor. The new aldermen included five Socialists, five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two council members who identified as LGBT, and one conservative Democrat who formally identified as an Independent. Before, the victory parties and swearing-in ceremonies were completed, politically interested members of the general public, politicians, and the news media began speculating about how the relationship between the new Mayor and the new city council would play out.

Their involvement provided important insights into the process and challenges involved in the delivery of immediate disaster relief and long-term assistance. Special thanks are also due to the many 9/11 relief funds that submitted detailed information to the Foundation Center regarding their grants and beneficiaries as well as their plans for distributing unspent funds. PHILANTHROPY’S RESPONSE TO 9/11 PROJECT The Foundation Center is documenting private philanthropy’s response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Using our experience in collecting and analyzing giving data, we are constructing a comprehensive picture of giving by foundations and corporations in the aftermath of 9/11, as well as tracking contributions by intermediaries and direct-service providers. We are also presenting news and in-depth interviews concerning the philanthropic response to 9/11 in the Foundation Center’s online journal, Philanthropy News Digest. Some of these have been reproduced in September 11: Perspectives from the Field of Philanthropy.

  • 3.3 Million Volunteer Workdays
    For nearly 30 years, buildOn has worked to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education. We do this by mobilizing youth from some of the most under-resourced schools in the United States to transform their communities through service learning and by working alongside community members in economically developing countries to build much-needed schools. buildOn Global buildOn’s Global Programs partner with rural communities in developing nations to build equal access to education. Through our participatory methodology, buildOn has mobilized villages in some of the economically poorest countries on the planet. 2,012 School Construction: Communities, where we work, have no adequate school structure – students are squeezed into dark and crumbling mud buildings, have to walk many miles to a neighboring village, or can’t attend school at all. buildOn provides funding, engineering, materials, skilled labor, Schools Built and project supervision. We are breaking ground on a new school every two days with the help of parents and grandparents who have provided 3.3 million volunteer workdays. We are currently building schools in Burkina Faso, Guatemala, Haiti, Malawi, Mali, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Senegal. 3.3 Million Gender Equality: Our methodology puts gender equality at the forefront and the community in VOLUNTEER WORKDAYS control. In many of the countries where we work, girls are not traditionally educated, and there are CONTRIBUTED BY few opportunities for adult women. buildOn’s agreement with each village ensures that girls are sent BUILDON COMMUNITIES to school in equal numbers with boys and that women have access to adult education.

    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • Yellow Fever and the Emotional Consequences of Untreatable Epidemic Disease
    This is an EJBM Online First article published ahead of the final print article on January 1, 2015. The final version of this article will be available at www.einstein.yu.edu/ejbm. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Yellow Fever and the Emotional Consequences of Untreatable Epidemic Disease John S Runge, BA1 ¹Department of Genetics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC. ABSTRACT Yellow fever terrorized communities in tropical and urban settings during its height in the nineteenth century American South. Carried by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water collections, the virus infects humans with fervor and is most known for its symptoms of jaundice and vomito negro, a dark vomit of coagulated blood. During the near-annual outbreaks of yellow fever, caregivers struggled to cope with the emotional consequences of failing medicine, sometimes leaving behind clues to their confusion in treating the disease and offering salient reflections on their inadequacies. As the disease ravaged through the Gulf region for decades, health worker futility can be traced to questions of what to do for others and what to do for oneself, offering a new perspective in yellow fever scholarship and insight to contemporary clinical practice and research. INTRODUCTION Epidemic diseases often arise quickly, infect indiscriminately, and frustratingly persist. Once present, epidemic diseases can exist for years as untreatable medical and scientific quandaries. These threats to health may eventually be overcome, but only after years of scientific research, evolutions in disease theory, successful experimental therapeutics, and effective distribution of curatives. The process is long and formidable.
