Real Money, Real Power, Real Change.

Thanks to all the Chicagoans who participated in PB Chicago this year!  With hundreds of people suggesting ideas for neighborhood improvements, dozens of residents turning those ideas into proposals and nearly 3,000 people coming out to decide how to spend $3 million in our communities, this was the most successful year yet!  We can't wait to start our third cycle this October.  Sign up here to receive updates as soon as they're available.
