Throughout 2025, the development department actively pursued funding opportunities and continued to steward existing partnerships to support the Loop as a vibrant and inclusive neighborhood for everyone.
Chicago Loop Alliance celebrated 20 years of “Culture, Commerce, and Community” throughout the year at various fundraising initiatives, including the Annual Meeting, raising $109,725 to support CLAF. This commitment was further celebrated at Chicago Loop Alliance and Foundation’s Annual Gala, presented by Pressure Washing Systems, hosting over 400 guests and generating over $247,000 to support public art projects and events like Sundays on State, The Gateway, the Arts in the Dark Halloween Parade, and more.
