Requested Amount: 10,000

Project Title: Education
Project Description:

S.E.L.F. Organization (Self Empowering Love & Faith) is urgently seeking grant funding to sustain and expand our education and youth enrichment program serving children and families in the Washington Heights community of Chicago. Our students face significant academic gaps, community violence, and limited access to safe, structured learning environments outside of school hours. Without immediate financial support, we risk reducing critical services such as tutoring, STEM activities, arts enrichment, healthy meals, and social-emotional programming that help our youth succeed academically and personally. This grant is essential to maintaining a safe haven where underserved children receive the academic reinforcement, mentorship, and stability they need to thrive.

Total Project Budget: 10,000

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Program fees from community leaders

Project Duration: 12 months
Geographical Area Served: Cook County/ Chicago, IL
Age Group To Be Served: infant-21 years old
