JT Helps to Launch Benefit Chicago
More than 300 investors, financial advisory, not-for-profits, social enterprises and civic leaders attended the April 25, 2016 announcement of Benefit Chicago at the Chicago Cultural Center — an innovative collaboration among The Chicago Community Trust, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and Calvert Foundation to mobilize $100 million in impact investment for nonprofits and social enterprises throughout the Chicago region. JT was a part of the strategic communications team, focused on the launch event and all of its logistics as well as local media, where we netted major stories and editorials in the Chicago Tribune, Crain’s Chicago Business and the Sun-Times, along with TV and online pick-up.
