Crossroads Fund supports organizations and groups promoting social change in the greater Chicago Metropolitan area (including Northwest Indiana). We define social change work as people in communities collectively working together to challenge the conditions, institutions, and policies that maintain inequality and oppression.

Our funding and grantmaking approach extends beyond issue areas or treating the symptoms of injustice such as food, ropa, shelter, but rather, we invest in long-term, radical solutions to change the systems that allow injustice, exploitation or violence to exist—envisioning an end while building equality and opportunity for all.
