Executive Committee

For over a century, The Chicago Community Trust has been guided by a dedicated Executive Committee made up of our region’s civic leaders who have led the wise use of donor advised, endowed and other restricted funds for the benefit of millions of residents who call our region home. The Executive Committee also serves as the Board of Directors of The Chicago Community Foundation, incorporated in 1985 for the purpose of operating as a component part of the Trust and supporting the charitable purposes of the Trust.

Trustees

Five financial institutions serve as Trustees managing a large portion of the Trust’s assets. A senior executive from each corporate Trustee serves on the Trustees’ Committee, which appoints up to five members of the Executive Committee, approves other appointments, and advises on the development of the Trust.
