The Evanston Community Foundation (ECF) kicks off its Community Catalyst grants to invest in new opportunities to create a stronger Evanston community.
The Community Catalyst grants are small optional grants that permit ECF ways to not only cater to the needs of the community as soon as they occur, but press on strategic plans throughout the year. The two inaugural Community Catalyst grants support projects that started with the Evanston150 initiative.
