🎯 Make a Real Difference in Chicago Communities

When you give to the ChiEAC Community Impact Fund, you are changing lives. Your gift supports migrant students and families, first generation college students, and underserved communities across Chicago with direct assistance, trusted programs, and lasting opportunities. This is not just charity. This is how change begins...person to person, family to family.

💡 What Your Gift Provides

📱 $65 gives a lifeline
Your donation provides a newly arrived migrant family with a phone, unlimited data, and hotspot access for one month. This allows them to stay in touch with caseworkers, apply for school and work, and connect with loved ones.

🚍 $25 opens a door
Covers public transit for students and parents to get to school, legal appointments, or medical care. A ride should never be the reason someone is left behind.

📚 $100 empowers a student
Supports a young person in our ELEVATE Program, giving them access to mentorship, tutoring, and culturally grounded college and career guidance.

💼 $150 prepares a parent or youth for the future
Funds career readiness training through our IMPACT Program, including resume support, job search coaching, and financial literacy tools that change economic futures.

🧠 $200 brings healing
Supports trauma-informed mental health sessions for families who have endured displacement, poverty, or violence. These small group sessions offer connection, coping tools, and peace of mind.

⚖️ $500 provides hope through legal help
Helps us grow our volunteer legal clinic, where families receive trusted guidance on asylum cases, work permits, and school enrollment—free of charge.

📊 Your gift also fuels long-term solutions

ChiEAC’s Data Science Alliance transforms family stories into insight. We analyze real-time feedback to improve our services, influence policy, and hold institutions accountable. Your support helps us lead with data and heart.
