A COMMITMENT TO STRENGTHENING SMALL, LOCAL NONPROFITS
Chicago BridgeBuilders Fund corporate sponsors are more than donors. The Fund’s sponsors are partners, working alongside small, local organizations to help build a stronger Chicago region.
Sponsorship includes exclusive, meaningful opportunities for your staff to get involved—and connect directly with the work:
-Chicago BridgeBuilders Fund Steering Committee representation
-Meaningful engagement with grantees, including site visits, tours, and other events
-Mentorship and pro-bono support of grantees
Other opportunities for your staff to volunteer in community.
