Ben & Jerry’s Foundation Awards Two-Year Grant to 350 Chicago

We are pleased to share that the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation has awarded us a two-year unrestricted general operating support grant in the total amount of $60,000. They noted that they were, “impressed with the proposal and group conversation.”

The goal of the Ben & Jerry’s National Grassroots Organizing Program (NGO) is to, “provide support for community-based, grassroots organizations confronting social and environmental injustice.”

We will be using these funds to support our Illinois Divestment and Utility Accountability campaigns, as well as enable us to work even harder in 2026.

We are incredibly thankful to the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation for their support and believing in our mission to help educate and enable Chicagoans to fight climate change. Thank you also to all our hardworking volunteers who are doing the good work on the ground, which is clearly reflecting well on us as an organization.
