How We #TakeCareChicago

Every day of every year, the fabric of the Chicago region is made strong by small and large nonprofit organizations lending a hand to neighbors in need. Today, they are listening, responding and making a difference as the coronavirus challenges us all. And they need support.

That’s why, along with the United Way of Metro Chicago, we created the Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund.

Generous donors, including corporate partners, professional sports teams, philanthropic and nonprofit organizations and more than 4,000 individuals have contributed millions. Every gift counts.

The Fund does two things. It pools donations for maximum impact. And it turns those donations into grants for effective nonprofits throughout the Chicago region.

This is how we #TakeCareChicago.
