Your support makes our work possible. Join us as a partner in freedom.
People like you make it possible for our young leaders and allies to find the space they need to build strong communities, share strategies, and take action for racial justice. Thank you for helping us build new futures.
Make a sustainable impact
Monthly Giving is an essential way that many of our donors make a sustainable impact on our work over time. This consistent source of year-round revenue enables us to spend less time fundraising and more time supporting young people to lead bold action in their schools and communities.
Employer Matching
After making your donation, talk to you employer about their matching gift policy. Find out if your donation qualifies. Then email the matching gift form to development@chicagofreedomschool.org, and we will complete it with the information needed for the match.
Workplace Giving Programs
Chicago Freedom School is able to receive donations with payroll deducted giving programs such as Benevity. Talk with your employer to see if this is a possibility for you.
