GAYLORD AND DOROTHY DONNELLEY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 12 COLLECTIONS PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED BY โBROADENING NARRATIVESโ GRANT INITIATIVE TO ILLUMINATE UNDERREPRESENTED STORIES
Grants total $755,500 to 12 collecting organizations and five advisory groups in Chicago and the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Grant recipients will receive a range of $10,000 to $150,000 to fund new projects The Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation (the Foundation)โwhich supports land conservation, artistic vitality, and regional collections for the people of the Lowcountry region of South Carolina and the Chicago metro areaโKorean Cultural Center of Chicago (KCCoC) is proud to be one of the 7 recipients of the Foundationโs groundbreaking โBroadening Narrativesโ initiative in the Chicagoland area, which aims to fund specific collections projects that bring forward underrepresented stories.
Korean Cultural Center of Chicago (KCCoC) documented oral histories about the major influx of Korean Americans to Chicago after the passing of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act. The project, including a short film, increases accessibility to the Korean communityโs history and expanded the KCCoCโs vital collection documenting Korean immigrant experiences. โThe majority of first-generation Korean immigrants to Chicago are aging, and the need to document their experiences is increasingly critical. These pioneers paved the way for those who followed, and documenting their stories is vital as their history weaves the tapestry of what Korean American identity is today. The project will capture a broad swath of experiences to present a diverse and multi-generational representation of Korean Americans in Chicago,โ says KCCoC Executive Director Kay Kihwa Rho.
