The Chicago Juneteenth Project is a 501(c)(3) organization created to not only co-organize the Juneteenth parade, but to extend the spirit of the event beyond just a single day of community engagement. The mission of The Chicago Juneteenth Project is to deliver programs and resources throughout the year that support technology enablement, educational advancement, life skills, and wellness to residents of Chicago's West Side, with emphasis on the North Lawndale and East Garfield Park neighborhoods.

Your donation helps bring the Juneteenth celebration to life through our energized parade, our post-parade community picnic, and the scholarships offered to our local graduates. Every contribution, regardless of size, honors our history, uplifts our present, and invests in a future rooted in pride. Thank you for being part of the celebration!
