WE ARE ONE
A COLLECTIVE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Stronger Together. Greater Impact.
Five creative organizations. One shared mission. Together,
we’re building a stronger and more sustainable creative future for Chicago’s South and West Sides.
THE COLLECTIVE GOAL
Chicago's South and West Sides are home to creative organizations doing essential work. Yet too often, those organizations must compete for limited resources while responding to growing community needs. We Are One asks a different question: What becomes possible when we work together instead of working alone? All funds from this campaign go directly to the organizations!

You can donate directly as well to a specific organization that you wish to support! When one of us grows, we all grow. We believe sustainable creative communities are built through cooperation, shared knowledge, and access to resources. We Are One puts that belief into action.
