Alphawood Foundation Chicago is a grant-making private foundation working for an equitable, just, and humane society. Each year we award grants to organizations working to expand legal services and advocacy, empower communities of color, protect the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and persons living with HIV/AIDS, increase access to the arts, and preserve the built environment.  Additionally, through Alphawood Exhibitions, we present socially engaged art and architecture exhibitions.

Our funding is by invitation only. We do not accept uninvited applications for funding.  We regret we cannot acknowledge or return unsolicited materials we receive.  For more information on inquiries and grant guidelines, please see our Inquiries page.
