What is Elevating Equity?
Elevating Equity is a unique grant opportunity focused on supporting innovative and impactful grassroots-led projects addressing systemic inequity, including racial inequity in Elgin. We believe that the most powerful solutions to community issues can and should come from those facing those issues in their daily lives.
