The Polk Bros. Foundation participates in this funding collaborative, which provides grants to Chicago-area arts and cultural organizations with budgets of less than $1 million. The fund's purpose is to strengthen these organizations by developing the business side of their operations, so they continue to create exciting work, develop new talent and enrich the Chicago metropolitan community with their artistic vision. In addition, the Arts Work Fund seeks to leverage additional funds to support the organizational development efforts of small arts and cultural groups and to engage funding partners in joint learning.
