The Chicago Community Trust

The Chicago Community Trust is our region’s community foundation, built by generations of Chicagoans to support a safe, healthy and productive future for every resident.

Since 1915, generous donors have invested their charitable dollars with the Trust to be transformed, through careful stewardship and deep community knowledge, into positive local impact. In 2008 the Trust and its donors granted more than $100 million to sustain effective, innovative programs throughout metropolitan Chicago.

The Trust’s funding is strategically directed to supporting:

  • Arts and Culture
  • Basic Human Needs
  • Community Development
  • Education
  • Health

As nonprofit organizations, local governments and businesses strive to tackle issues of concern, the Trust provides civic leadership bringing all stakeholders to the common table. Working together, the Trust, its donors and its community partners leverage collective knowledge, creativity and resources for a greater impact than any of us can make alone.

The Foundation is intended, by Spencer's direction, to investigate ways in which education, broadly conceived, can be improved around the world. From the first, the Foundation has been dedicated to the belief that research is necessary to the improvement in education.
