The Night Ministry Awarded $100,000 Grant from The Chicago Community Trust to Support Individuals Experiencing Homelessness and Poverty

(Chicago, IL – July 16, 2025) The Night Ministry is proud to announce it has received a $100,000 grant from The Chicago Community Trust (the Trust) in support of its ongoing efforts to serve thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty throughout Chicago.

For more than 39 years, the Trust has been a steadfast partner in The Night Ministry's mission to provide compassionate, judgment-free care to some of Chicago's most vulnerable residents. This grant builds upon the long-standing relationship and shared values of dignity, equity, and community.

"Partnerships like the one we share with the Trust are more critical than ever as we face a rising number of individuals experiencing homelessness alongside shifts and reductions in federal and state funding," said Carol J. Sharp, President and CEO of The Night Ministry. We are deeply grateful for their continued partnership as we work to ensure that our unhoused neighbors are not forgotten and have access to the resources necessary to thrive."

The funding will help The Night Ministry to meet people where they are, providing a wide range of vital services that include, but are not limited to, mobile outreach, street medicine, transitional housing, youth programming, and case management.
