CRC Grant Application 

The Village of Oak Park’s Community Relations Commission’s grant application deadline is September 14, 2022. 

The Community Relations Commission was established to assure all residents of equal service and treatment. The Commission works to improve inter-group relations without regard to race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, age, marital status, familial status, disability, gender identity, gender expression, military discharge status, housing status or order of protection status. It works to ensure good human, race and community relations and reduce tensions.

The Community Relations Commission strives to partner with groups in Oak Park that lead community programming involving issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The CRC has a small grant program to support community activities that advance our goal to ensure good human, race, and community relations.

Funds to support community programming will be allocated by evaluating the project’s alignment with the CRC mission, intended outcomes, and audience, and likelihood of success.

Funds may not be used for any political activities or events. Funds also cannot be used for retroactive activities or events. No project is too small and all are welcome to apply.
