Funded through the Searle Funds at The Chicago Community Trust, Food:Land:Opportunity is a collaboration between Kinship Foundation and The Chicago Community Trust.
All FLO grant recipients must be serving communities in the Chicago metropolitan region. Most of the FLO projects are designed in partnership with grantees and stakeholders. Thus, proposals for Food:Land:Opportunity funding are made by invitation only. However, the initiative is interested in new opportunities that align with or support its strategies. If you believe that your work aligns with the core strategies of Food:Land:Opportunity, please contact program staff using this form.
Thank you for your message! A member of the FLO team will be in touch soon.
Kinship Foundation is a private operating foundation with three areas of focus: biomedical research, environmental conservation, and education. Its work includes developing and supporting Chicago-based grant making initiatives through the Searle Funds at The Chicago Community Trust, administering the Searle Scholars Program, and operating Kinship Conservation Fellows.
As our region’s community foundation, The Chicago Community Trust has been here for all Chicagoans for over 110 years. We unite donors, nonprofits, and residents to support people, organizations, and partnerships that strengthen the Chicago region. We address challenges that stand in the way of a thriving region, including meeting people’s critical needs such as secure housing and healthy food; mobilizing support in response to crises such as the Great Depression and COVID pandemic; and working on ways to build wealth and well-being for Chicagoans, including those who have historically lacked equal access to opportunity. We believe that when our neighbors do better, we all do better. Learn more at www.cct.org.
