Our Donors


Our donors make our work possible. They include the government, foundations, corporations and individuals who value the Emergency Fund's impact in the community. In addition, several donors have designated their contributions to pay for our administrative expenses, so that 100% of all individual donations go directly to the cause. This means that every dollar you give goes to pay for rental or utility assistance, transportation and other basic needs. Each year, our Annual Report acknowledges our donors for their contributions. We hope we'll be able to add your name to that list.

Private donors have always been a critical partner in the Emergency Fund's ability to keep our funds flexible and immediate.

The Emergency Fund also invites local businesses and corporations to join us in helping Chicago's poor families to pay their rent, put food on their tables, pay for life-saving medications and provide other essential items for their families.To learn more about corporate donation opportunities, please go to our corporate acknowledgement page.
