Mission: The chicago cultural alliance's mission is to connect, promote, and support centers of cultural heritage for a more inclusive chicago. We are a proud consortium of chicago-area ethnic museums, cultural centers and historical societies who span 24 neighborhoods and 7 suburbs in chicago area and represent 28 different cultures from around the world. The alliance increases the visibility and impact of chicago's ethnic assets by leveraging partnerships between member organizations and major institutions. The alliance assures the long-term efficacy of its public education, marketing, preservation and social service programs by providing organizational development assistance to its core members.
Programs: Member services: member services include emergency assistance to core members, financials assistance to attend workshops and conferences and shared back office initiatives, such as innovative shared conservation and collections programs, purchasing discounts, and volunteer/internship matching. The cca distributes newsletters and regular emails announcing core member exhibits and events. Additional services include promotion of core members through brochures, publications, social media, website and via outreach events. The cca also offers online forums, resources, and calendars.
civic engagement: civic engagement programming offers core member partner institutions, and the general public opportunities to engage in contemporary issues that are important to chicago's ethnic community. Programming includes a series of cross-cultural facilitated dialogues, group tour offerings, and cross-cultural panel presentations and exhibitions. Topics covered include immigration, environmental issues, youth and identity, and health care. All civic engagement programs include a public and training component that is designed to build the skills and programs of core members.
capacity building: the cca runs three comprehensive series. "build strong, build smart" is a workshop series about the best practices in non-profit management. "conservation and collections" is a program that provides access to collections consultants. "shared collections assistant" assists in the subsidized purchasing of collections management software and a series of workshops on best conservation techniques and policies.
