Families, organizations, businesses and individuals like you have donated to and through the Trust, one of our affiliates, or initiatives.  Your contributions are helping to further the vision we all share of a better Chicago-area for all of its residents. We thank you for your contribution and your involvement in our community.

Through your generosity, the Trust and its donors made more than $81 million in grants to 1,200 not-for-profit organizations last year. We are on target to increase both numbers this year. 

More to Do
Despite the generosity of our donors, there will always be needs in our community and opportunities to offer support.  We will work with you to choose how to give, find not-for-profit organizations that are working on your area of concern and ensure that your gift has the greatest impact.

Check our brief recommendations for effective giving. If you need additional help, please contact the Trust's Director of Gift Planning, Jason Baxendale.
