VISIONARY SPONSOR - GRAND VICTORIA FOUNDATION
GRAND VICTORIA FOUNDATION
Grand Victoria Foundation is committed to being a statewide leader in fostering racial justice throughout Illinois. Central to our approach is "community power-building," which involves empowering communities most impacted by systemic inequities to organize, set agendas, and enact meaningful changes through collective action.
Our initiatives are grounded in a comprehensive Racial Justice Framework that prioritizes community power-building and supports leaders in advancing equity through policy, practice, and programs. By investing in these critical areas, we aim to dismantle structural barriers to equity and enhance the health, wealth, and joy of all communities, ensuring that Black people and communities of color across Illinois can thrive.
VISIONARY SPONSOR - HEALTHY COMMUNTIES FOUNDATION
HEALTHY COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION
To advance health equity, we must achieve racial equity.
All community members in our service region deserve access to resources and opportunities that enhance their health and well-being. Yet, decades of structural racism and systemic inequities have disproportionately harmed BILPOC (Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other People of Color) communities, leading to worse health outcomes, shorter life expectancy, and limited access to care.
We are committed to achieving health equity by addressing the root causes of these inequities. This drives our mission to support organizations and initiatives focused on local health needs and systemic solutions that improve the quality of life for those most affected by health inequities in our region
