For the past several years, the Chicago Schweitzer Fellows Program offered seed grants to Fellows for Life interested in beginning, sustaining and/or building on innovative community projects that help underserved Chicago communities. We are pleased to continue this offer and invite Fellows for Life to apply for a 2022 Seed Grant.

Schweitzer Fellows for Life are invited to submit proposals for Seed Grants of up to $3,000 to create, sustain, or build upon a year-long project to help improve the health and well-being of an underserved Chicago community. 

The project should be direct service oriented and should involve an existing community-based organization. The Fellow for Life who is submitting the proposal must be directly and principally involved with the design, implementation, and reporting for the project.

Applications must be submitted no later than April 25, 2022.
