An Innovative Approach to a Common Problem
Abstract
If you only follow the headline news, it's easy to forget that Chicago is one of the world's great cities, home to major museums, universities, and corporate headquarters, with an economy larger than many nations. You would certainly find it hard to believe that there are neighborhoods in Chicago's south and west sides that are experiencing dramatic rebirths, in part because of better access to affordable capital and collaborative public and private partnerships. This is exactly the impact that Benefit Chicago, a collaboration between the MacArthur Foundation, The Chicago Community Trust, and the Calvert Foundation aims to stimulate by mobilizing a $100 million impact investment fund.
