Meet Our 2026 Community Partners
Every day, nonprofit organizations across Chicago are expanding opportunity, opening doors, and strengthening communities. We’re proud to partner with them as we believe lasting impact comes from investing in organizations with deep roots in the communities they serve. We support nonprofit partners that expand access to education, prepare people for meaningful careers, and help individuals and families build long-term economic resilience.
Since 2004, we've invested more than $24 million in nonprofit organizations across Chicago. In 2026 alone, we committed more than $4 million to organizations advancing these shared goals.
Our 2026 Partners
This year's grant recipients represent the strength and diversity of Chicago's nonprofit community. While each organization has a unique mission, they share a common purpose: creating pathways to opportunity for students, job seekers, entrepreneurs, families, and neighborhoods across the city.
