The Illinois Arts Council has awarded the SLF a grant for $1700, which will be a big help as we continue to build out the Portolan Project.
Huge thanks to our Development Director, Cee Gee, who battled through Covid to get our application in on time. (The first time we were applying for an IAC grant, so it was a lot of new work for us, and she carried it.)
Thanks as well to our UIC spring interns, Darius Vinesar and Emmanuel Henderson, who helped us research and build out a database of grants we should be applying for.
