Aspiramos Juntos
Aspiramos Juntos (We Hope Together) is a grant making program offered to organizations in the Chicago region by the Lumpkin Family Foundation. The program’s vision and grantmaking guidelines reflect the aspirations of those members of the Lumpkin family who make their homes in the area.
We hope together that…
- Our behavior as individuals and as a community sustain the planet for future generations.
- ALL in our community have access to healthy food that is both affordable and sustainably produced.
- Our children eat well, are physically active and understand the natural world that sustains us.
The Aspiramos Juntos program will only have one grant cycle in fall 2024. Letters of Inquiry will be invited beginning in late spring through September 27, 2024. Please check back for specific dates. Applications will be invited by October 14.
All LOIs and applications are accepted online only. Scroll to the bottom of this page to view a list of past grantees.
Focus of Support
We are interested in receiving proposals from organizations that:
- Support opportunities for children in/out of school to engage physically with and to learn about the natural world, to eat well, and to make the most of their innate sense of justice and caring for others and the planet.
- Encourage collaboration among organizations and people working on matters related to environmental sustainability and climate change.
- Support the development of a healthy, local food system.
