Chicago Beyond is now accepting 90-second video pitches from all over to help come up with new and positive ideas. Chance said in a Facebook video, “Submit the ideas. We’d love to fund them as long as they positively impact the City of Chicago.”
Chicago Beyond explained more about the challenge in a statement, “The challenge is designed to find and invest in innovative programs, ideas or approaches that disrupt chronic challenges facing young Chicagoans.”
