Powell's Barber Shop

Today we announced a $1 million grant — the largest in our history — to support R.A.G.E - Resident Association of Greater Englewood in its mission to restore Englewood by mobilizing residents and creating community-led solutions.

This investment marks the launch of our Community Investments portfolio, an evolution of our social justice work that reflects our deepened commitment to resident-led organizations on Chicago's South and West Sides.

We have partnered with R.A.G.E. since 2019, and their impact speaks for itself. For 15 years, R.A.G.E. has proven that when residents lead, communities thrive — turning what Englewood residents care about into tangible change. They exemplify what our Community Investments portfolio is designed to support.

Through our strategic partnership with R.A.G.E., we will pilot our Community Investments work over the next four years. Our goal is to expand this portfolio to more communities in the future.

Congratulations to our friends at R.A.G.E. We look forward to learning from our work together and driving lasting change for the residents of Englewood.
