We’re a supercharger. We have deployed more than $73 million to help the nonprofits in our portfolio grow. Our donors want to make pivotal, well researched investments that lift the outlook for our city.We believe that education is the best route out of poverty. But too many Chicago children, particularly on the South and West Sides, lack the resources to learn and thrive. In order to succeed, they need programs that support their academic and social growth, while keeping them safe and meeting their essential needs.While traditional philanthropies focus on established nonprofits, A Better Chicago aims to find and nurture promising early initiatives, or ones just beyond that stage that are on the cusp of expansion. Often, they are run by local leaders who live or grew up in the communities they serve. We employ a venture capital approach: We raise money from donors who want to maximize their impact, and we invest in innovative youth-serving nonprofits that have the potential to expand exponentially. We vet them rigorously before investing, and our continued support depends on them meeting mutually agreed milestones. As with a venture capital fund, our goal is for our investments to eventually flourish without us. We provide unrestricted funding, renewed annually based on performance. We also provide ongoing guidance and resources to help nonprofits grow. This includes funding or in-kind support for specific needs, such as strategic planning, marketing and communications, executive development or hiring. Our administrative expenses are covered by our board, ensuring that every donor dollar is deployed to the nonprofits we support.When founded in 2010, A Better Chicago was modeled after a venture capital fund that could build a more equitable city by breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Chicago is one of the most segregated large cities in America: One in four children here lives in poverty, with Black and Latinx youth on the city’s South and West sides most affected. Three in four Chicago Public Schools students rely on schools for their primary source for meals.A Better Chicago’s mission is to fight poverty through opportunity, creating an on-ramp for youth to the middle class. As of 2023, A Better Chicago’s investment portfolio includes 27 nonprofits that support children from cradle to career.Key elements of A Better Chicago's model include:<ul><li>Rigorous due diligence: A Better Chicago carefully screens organizations and only funds those that have strong leadership, a compelling program model and a demonstrated commitment to outcomes measurement.</li><li>Adding value: It takes more than just money. A Better Chicago provides strategic support in areas like business planning, executive search and leadership development—all of which are critical to building strong organizations and achieving meaningful outcomes.</li><li>Results: A Better Chicago's team works tirelessly so that every dollar raised has the maximum possible impact. The organization openly shares its performance because it believes in accountability. It's part of how A Better Chicago is transforming philanthropy.</li><li>100% impact: A Better Chicago's board of directors and leadership council cover all of our administrative costs, so 100 percent of all donations are supporting our portfolio of outstanding nonprofits.</li></ul>Since launching in 2010, A Better Chicago has made compelling progress:<ul><li>Raised over $73 million to invest in Chicago's most effective nonprofits.</li><li>Built a board, leadership council, impact council and high-performing staff.</li><li>Reviewed close to 1000 organizations and built a portfolio of 27 high-performing organizations.</li><li>Developed partnerships with leading professional services firms to help grantees tackle their most pressing strategic and operational challenges.</li><li>Created an Emergency Relief Fund that has invested nearly $2.5 million to support 47 local initiatives during the COVID19 pandemic.</li><li>Launched and implemented the $7.5M Chicago Design Challenge to accelerate learning recovery and address the mental health challenges of youth most affected by the pandemic.</li></ul>OUR COMMITMENT TO RACIAL EQUITYA Better Chicago is committed to advancing racial equity and ensuring Chicago youth are economically mobile and thriving in education, career, and life. Given this nation’s longstanding history of systemic inequity, we focus our efforts on funding and scaling ideas that expand opportunities for Black and Latinx youth, with particular emphasis on those ideas coming directly from the communities we serve. Our commitment is reflected in our strategic investment priorities, as well as our business operations, as we work to measure the impact of our portfolio investments, staffing, and contracting.We are devoted to aligning our policies, practices, and resources to foster equitable opportunity for all. As we continue in our mission to build a Chicago where low-income, Black, and Latinx youth can thrive, we are also dedicated to building an anti-racist organization in which all of our stakeholders feel empowered to learn about and dismantle barriers to opportunity. We know this work is complex, but our commitment is durable, and we intend to be an active and engaged participant in the necessary work to elevate solutions for creating a more just and equitable world.A Better Chicago is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes candidates from diverse backgrounds.For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.abetterchicago.org/" target="_blank">www.abetterchicago.org</a>.&nbsp;
