How to Pre-Qualify a Charity

Our focus is on charities whose mission and service population are solely within the city to maximize the impact of our funding in the Northwest Suburban communities. The charities listed here have been vetted against our specific requirements. The list will be updated as additional charities are recommended by our members. Click on “How To Nominate A Charity” to see a list of our requirements. Note that once a charity has been awarded funding, it will not be eligible for nomination again for three years from the funding date.

If you’d like to know more about any of these charities, click on their listed web address to go directly to their website. Remember, if you have a charity you’d like to nominate that is not yet on this list, please fill out our Charity Nomination Form and submit it at least one week in advance of the meeting. We’ll add it to the list if it meets our criteria (if it does not, for any reason, we will contact you directly).
