What is the RSAE?
The RSAE is an independent, non-profit organization with the fiscal responsibility in directing and distributing funds from the Evanston Reparations Community Fund held at the Evanston Community Foundation. We serve in capacity in line with the local Black residents of Evanston and the City of Evanston’s Reparations Committee, ensuring voices are heard, considered, and amplified.
Our diverse, rotating board of advisors, composed of Black residents of Evanston (stakeholders), provides thoughtful guidance on funding, programming, and the desired outcomes that are then recommended to the Evanston Community Foundation for implementation.
The RSAE also encourages public participation, facilitating forums for stakeholders to voice their needs, ideas, and grievances. These diverse inputs are compiled and presented to the City of Evanston Reparations Committee, ensuring a responsive and inclusive reparations process.

Our primary objective is to foster transformative change in Evanston by ensuring the fair distribution of reparations funding and resources. We aim to consistently issue funding recommendations independent from the City of Evanston’s control and influence.
Our focus areas encompass housing, economic development, educational and cultural initiatives, and health and wellness, as determined by community stakeholders. By collaborating with our stakeholders, we strive to address these areas with strategic funding, programs, and initiatives that contribute to sustainable, systemic change.
