The Resurrection Project
Chicago, IL
Our mission is to build relationships and challenge people to act on their faith and values to create healthy communities through organizing, education and community development.
In 20 years, The Resurrection Project (TRP) has changed the lives of families within its target communities and across the greater Chicagoland area.
Founded by concerned neighbors, a coalition of churches, and a $30,000 investment of seed capital, The Resurrection Project has become a powerful and effective not-for-profit organization that seamlessly blends community development, community organizing, social services, and advocacy to build vibrant, healthy, and civically engaged communities. Since its inception, TRP has leveraged this initial investment of $30,000 to yield $225 million in community re-investment.
TRP joined with its communities, funders, and partners to celebrate a special 20th anniversary in 2010. We also embarked on a strategic planning process that engaged stakeholders from clients to Board Members to map out the organization's next five years. Under the guidance of this plan, we will serve more families and continue to build model communities through the concentration and expansion of our projects and programs. We will continue to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. We continue to change the landscape on Chicago's southwest side and other surrounding Latino communities: increasing assets, building wealth, and creating safe spaces for families to learn, live, and grow.
