Chicago Prize is founded on the belief that community leaders are best positioned to create catalytic plans for positive change in their communities.
Congratulations Reclaiming Chicago!
The Pritzker Traubert Foundation is thrilled to announce the 2025 recipient of the $10M Chicago Prize: an ambitious plan to significantly expand affordable home ownership on Chicago’s South and West sides.
The Prize believes community leaders are best positioned to create positive change.
The Chicago Prize is part of Pritzker Traubert Foundation’s $100 million 10-year commitment made in 2017 to increase access to economic opportunity for more Chicagoans.
Launched in 2019, The Chicago Prize invites community leaders to share their plans for catalytic change.
We met inspirational and committed leaders with talent, vision, and drive to make generational change. And we were again reminded of the tremendous untapped potential found in Chicago neighborhoods.
