About the magazine

SGA Youth & Family Services is a Chicago-based nonprofit with a long history of providing comprehensive support to children, youth, and families. Founded in 1911 as the South Side Settlement House, it has evolved into a multi-service agency addressing education, wellness, and community development. The organization's ethos is rooted in community-centered practice, emphasizing empowerment and resilience. Its CDPH Community-Centered Wellness Microgrant program, offered in partnership with the Chicago Department of Public Health, reflects this commitment by funding small-scale, community-driven wellness initiatives that address social determinants of health and promote equity.

Applicants should demonstrate a clear connection to community wellness and a track record of serving Chicago neighborhoods, particularly those disproportionately affected by health disparities. Proposals should be grounded in local needs and show how funds will support community-centered activities, which may include arts-based approaches. It is advisable to contact SGA staff for guidance before applying, and to ensure alignment with CDPH priorities. Budgets should be realistic and reflect the microgrant scale.
