People in the U.S. have a great tradition of coming together to solve community problems. The history of our country is a story of people banding together to run hospitals, churches, and civic groups. Through a nonprofit-led town meeting, people from diverse backgrounds may find a solution to address crime in their neighborhood. No matter where they fall on the political spectrum, most people agree that nonprofits are essential to solving social problems. The people of greater Chicago continue to get involved by giving money, volunteering, starting new groups to fill unmet needs, and forming foundations and corporate philanthropy programs.
Nonprofits bring out the best in everyone.
