Anti-racist Practice Cohort
Build your organizations' capacity and center liberation.
Antiracist Practice (ARP) is a healing centered, liberatory framework used by practitioners, communities, and organizations to address inequities and structural harm, affirm the dignity and cultural wealth of communities, and to develop policies, practices, and institutions that affirm the fullness of our humanity and build toward our collective well-being.
AMPT's Antiracist Practice Cohort aims to build the capacity of small, Black- and Latine-led nonprofit organizations, with budgets less than $500,000 on the south and west sides of Chicago.
This 5 month-long experience provides participants:
Capacity-building tools, skills, and competencies necessary to serve their clients and communities.
Support in successfully navigating Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.
Space to contribute to the collective re-imaging and manifestation of what will be.
Opportunity to build strong organizational relationships with other nonprofit leaders across Chicago.
An Executive Coach for 6 months of one-on-one coaching.
$10,000 organizational stipend to build the capacity of your organization.
