The Chicago Community Trust

As our region’s community foundation, The Chicago Community Trust is a platform for change that connects philanthropy to impact.

We bring together generous donors, committed organizations, and caring residents to effect lasting change that moves our region forward.

Guided by our deep community knowledge, we make grants, lead, convene, and collaborate in pursuit of a Chicago region where everyone can thrive because we know that when our neighbors do better, we all do better. Invest in our work, partner with us, or take action alongside us to help increase opportunities and well-being for every Chicagoan.

Contribute to Unity Fund: Contributions of all sizes join forces to create a pool of funding for critical services such as emergency food, clothing, housing, and legal aid.

Give to the Trust’s Unrestricted Fund: Giving directly to the Trust allows flexibility for our exceptional grantmaking team to address the region’s most pressing needs at any given time. Currently, the Trust is focused on increasing opportunities and wealth in underinvested communities, which will benefit the entire region. https://www.cct.org/give/
