About the Organization
Three generations ago, Frederick H. Prince and his wife Abbie Norman Prince established a philanthropic legacy by creating the Prince Charitable Trusts (PCT). Over time, their heirs have created giving programs in cities where the Prince family has deep and long-standing ties: Chicago, IL, Washington, DC, and Newport, Rhode Island.
PCT is a family foundation that believes in the capacity of non-profit organizations to change lives, to improve communities, and to advance ideas. In standing with the organizations PCT funds, PCT strives to add muscle to their might with operating, project, and capacity-building grants and special awards for their often unique and unheralded work.
The Prince Charitable Trusts Chicago Program supports the arts, environmental justice, and sports-based youth development. Grants are awarded during two grant cycles per year.
