Meet the Funders

Chicago is fortunate to have many supportive foundations that provide grant funding for the arts and arts education. This panel discussion will provide theatres the opportunity to meet many of the local funders, learn about the other side of the process and hear directly from them about what they look for in a proposal. Moderated by Marcia Festen from the Arts Work Fund, confirmed panelists include representatives from the Chicago Community Trust, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, The Field Foundation of Illinois, and the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Following the panel there will be a reception with food and drink.
