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 entire region forward. We envision a Chicago region where equity is central and opportunity and prosperity are in reach for all. For over 100 years, forward-looking individuals and families have entrusted their philanthropic resources and visions to the Trust's stewardship. Our expertise goes to work helping donors translate their funds and passions into innovative and impactful giving strategies. Guided by our deep community knowledge, we make grants, lead, convene, and collaborate to address the greatest and most critical needs facing the Chicago region.
