How to Help

Como Ayudar

Donate

Chicago Commons builds well-being with the help of generous donations and in-kind gifts from people like you. Help us continue our mission to partner with individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty, discrimination, and isolation by showing your support.

  • Support an "Ultimate Makeover" to bring about real social change.
    It all begins with a focus on education. Quality early childhood education, parent involvement, student health and positive social relationships among students contribute directly to academic achievement and college enrollment. This leads to greater earning potential, self-empowerment, civic participation, neighborhood investment and a greater sense of security.
