CROSSROWAinter AnnDual 2009 –S 2010 Report on Fiscal Year 2010 At Crossroads Fund, Fiscal Year 2010 was the year of the youth. We were proud to conclude our third year of grantmaking through the Youth Fund for Social Change, a special program that focuses resources on advocacy and youth activism in the area. The Youth Fund for Social Change highlights our work to help build movements for racial, social and economic justice. At a time when young people were not engaged to vote in the mid-term elections, when the youth unemployment rate is higher than any year since 1948, and when funding for public education is facing grim austerity-related cuts, Crossroads Fund is providing resources to empower young people to work across social justice issues. Crossroads Fund provides grants. To date, we have distributed $94,500 through the Youth Fund, and we plan to disseminate an additional $30,000 in 2011. Crossroads Fund provides innovative trainings, workshops and coaching. Last fall, we partnered with the Woods Fund and Senior Caucus to bring the Highlander Center to Chicago, to present a training on popular education and organizing; this training was intergenerational and had a special track devoted to youth. We also partnered with the Freedom School and Project Nia to present a session on Martin Luther King Day 2010 that was targeted to youth. We have assisted youth in understanding different kinds of activism, and we have provided youth with specialized training on managing their resources . Crossroads Fund partners with other foundations to bring resources to youth. For the past two years we have been building a strategic partnership with Cricket Island Foundation, which is based in . We are providing them with insight around local issues and they have provided funding, along with training time with consultants for youth grantees of mutual interest. We are exploring partnerships with local foundations to leverage more for the Youth Fund for Social Change. For a complete list of Youth Fund for Social Change grantees, as well as all 2010 Crossroads Fund grantees, please visit our website at www.crossroadsfund.org/NEWGRANTS.HTML. Your support is key to the success of the Youth Fund, and to all of the programs and grantmaking at Crossroads Fund. Thank you for your commitment to racial, social and economic justice in Chicago — and beyond!

Warmly,

Every year, Crossroads Fund must raise our operating budget. We are a public, community foundation in every sense of the word — we count on the support of our entire constituency to provide sustenance for the core of our programs in grantmaking and technical assistance. Because of this philosophy, you’ll notice that our donor list is formatted a little bit differently. For years we have received feedback that people would like to see an alphabetized list that does not differentiate donors based on their giving level. After careful consideration and discussion, we decided to oblige. The following list is organized alphabetically and acknowledges that it takes gifts at all levels, both small and large, to sustain the work of Crossroads Fund. Thank you to all of our incredibly generous individual, institutional and foundation donors. Your support drives our funding for groups working for racial, social and economic justice in Chicago.
