2024 Night Out in the Parks CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The Chicago Park District currently seeks proposals from Chicago-based organizations, collectives and individual artists to participate in the 12th year of the Night Out in the Parks program. The season runs from June 1 - December 31, 2024. Proposals are due by 11:59pm Sunday December 10, 2023 for 2024 season consideration.

We strongly recommend that first-time applicants and anyone looking for more detailed information on the program, proposal and process, start first by referring to our website for a full program overview, eligibility, FAQs and a comprehensive virtual NOITP Call for Proposals Information Presentation. www.nightoutintheparks.com
 

If you have questions about the process during the completion of your application or once your application has been submitted, please direct them via email to noitp@chicagoparkdistrict.com
 

Not all applications will receive financial support, and priority will be placed on partners who score the highest in all five areas of focus: Enriching and Engaging Programming, Production Viability, Commitment to Community Connectivity, Budget Feasibility and Professionalism and Self-Sufficiency.

Some partners who apply for financial support may be offered space only, which includes marketing support.

ALL NIGHT OUT IN THE PARKS PROPOSALS ARE DUE BY 11:59PM ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2023

Email any questions about the Night Out in the Parks submissions process to noitp@chicagoparkdistrict.com.

INFO SESSION

The NOITP Team will host a LIVE Info Session to go over the application in depth.

The sessions are not intended to be a grant writing course but rather to help applicants understand what Night Out in the Parks is looking for in a proposal. If you are a returning applicant, we recommend taking the time to learn about our focuses for this year’s application.
