  Arts & Culture in Chicago

  CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — The Prince Charitable Trusts operates as a family foundation with giving programs in Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Rhode Island. It has been a strong supporter of the arts in Chicago since its inception in 1947. This grant renews the MacArthur Fund for Arts and Culture at Prince, which supports mid-sized arts and culture organizations (with annual budgets between $500,000 and $2 million) in the Chicago metropolitan region. The re-granting arrangement was established to sustain the Foundation's longstanding commitment to arts and cultural organizations in Chicago, and also improving service to the groups by retaining Prince's staff, which specializes in support for mid-sized arts and cultural organizations.
