Bridge Builders Community Foundations Competitors

As our region's community foundation, The Chicago Community Trust has been here for all Chicagoans for over 111 years. We unite donors, nonprofits and residents to support people, organizations and partnerships that strengthen the Chicago region. We address challenges that stand in the way of a thriving region, including meeting people’s critical needs such as secure housing and healthy food; mobilizing support in response to crises such as the Great Depression and COVID pandemic; and working on ways to build wealth and well-being for Chicagoans, including those who have historically lacked equal access to opportunity. We believe that when our neighbors do better, we all do better.
