Annual Report

Dear Opportunity G​​rantED Family,

This year brought new obstacles to teachers and students as CPS schools went back to in-person learning in the fall. Through the support of our donors, we were able to meet these challenges head-on. Despite the pandemic, Opportunity GrantED was able to have our most successful year to date, awarding over $32,000 in grants to help more than 2,000 students in Chicago Public Schools.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission! Opportunity GrantED exists because of our grant recipients, donors, and volunteers, all working together to improve the quality of education for students in underserved communities in Chicago.

Exciting News!

We are excited to announce that Opportunity GrantED and Redefined Fitness are launching a collaborative fundraising campaign called Dollars for Devices! Together, we set a goal to raise $30,000 in the month of July to provide 100 chromebooks to Sherman School of Excellence on the southwest side of Chicago. This special campaign is outside of Opportunity GrantED’s typical grant cycles, and we are excited to broaden our impact with Redefined Fitness.
