Festival Community Impact
In 2022, we were proud to support two of Chicago’s most prominent, decades old Latinx organizations: the Pilsen Neighbors Community Council and the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Puerto Rican Cultural Center. Sueños' funding supported the Pilsen Neighbors’ Fiesta del Sol Scholarship and the development of the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center’s new Youth Media Center, which will open in the spring of 2023. The Youth Media Center will feature production equipment, cameras, microphones, sound mixing equipment, and more to give youth on the west side of Chicago the opportunity to express themselves through multimedia arts opportunities.
Fiesta del Sol Scholarships will support Latinx students from the south side of Chicago with college expenses, including tuition and fees, housing, books, and other supplies.
