Haitian American Museum Of Chicago, a tax-exempt nonprofit that receives significant public funding to perform services also offered by the state, was approved to receive a $500,000 grant in FY2024 for infrastructure improvements, according to passed legislation data extracted from the Illinois General Assembly’s FY2024 budget (Public Act 102-6 0698).

This appropriation represents state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.

Founded in 2012 by Elsie Hernandez, Haitian American Museum Of Chicago states that its mission is: “To promote and preserve Haitian art, culture, history, and community.”
