The Giving Project at Crossroads Fund gives participants the opportunity to learn about local social justice campaigns, engage in discussions with like-minded individuals, and connect with activists and organizers leading grassroots organizations.

One way to get involved is to participate in the Giving Project. This six-month program (January - June 2026) includes community building through political education, fundraising, and grantmaking activities supporting groups advocating for racial, social, and economic justice in Chicago.
