Through this work, the intern will strengthen their presentation, research, and writing skills while advancing the Trust's efforts to build wealth and promote equitable investment in Chicago communities.

  • Participate in meetings with grant partners and other civic leaders, document important information, and provide feedback on alignment with strategic priorities.
  • Research and provide background memos on key policy issues and policy reform proposals to inform potential Trust engagement, examples of which may include key neighborhood amenities needed for overall development, models for supporting property acquisition, and other topics as assigned.
  • Participate in grantmaking processes by reviewing and scoring proposals, participating in site visits, and drafting grant recommendations
  • Support and coordinate key projects and events aimed at advancing the Trust's strategic goals.
  • Complete other duties as assigned.
