Support for Free Write:
Our program is made possible in large part through an anonymous donation administered by our trustees, Bert Kohler, Stanley Weisberger and Alex Elson. We gratefully acknowledge the donor who keeps our important work going every day inside the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center.
We receive additional support from the Illinois Humanities Council, The Woods Fund of Chicago, The Oppenheimer Teacher Incentive Grant, and through the kindness of individual donors like YOU! Additional funding is or has been provided by The Chester Foundation, The Pejeau Foundation, Continental Electric, and the Polk Brothers Foundation. Kind thanks to them and their generous support.
Our Advisory Board works tirelessly as volunteers to support and guide our work. Thank you to: Dr. William Ayers, Susan Klonsky, Dr. Carl Bell, Pat Zamora, Luis Rodriguez, Bernardine Dohrn, Margaret Hughes and Cheryl Graves.
Free Write Jail Arts and Literacy Program is administered by Chicago Lights at Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago. We are grateful to Beth Truett at Chicago Lights for her support.
