Membership in Impact Grants Chicago entitles you to vote for the grant recipients at the annual Grant Awards Celebration. In addition, members whose donations are received by December 31, may choose to participate in the grant review process by joining a Grant Review or Financial Review Committee. If you are using donor advised funds for your membership, please check your fund’s processing deadline to ensure you can meet this deadline.

We are now accepting members for the 2021/22 grant year.

Matching Gifts

Many companies offer matching gift programs to their employees. Check with your employer to find out if your company matches employees’ gifts to charitable nonprofit organizations. All matching gifts are used as operating funds.

Gifted Securities

Impact Grants Chicago accepts donations of stock in a publicly-traded company as payment for membership. All stock gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Electronic transfer is the easiest method of gifting stock when a donor maintains holdings in a brokered account. Impact Grants Chicago can assist you with this process.

For more information about either of these opportunities, please contact our Treasurer at treasurer@impactgrantschicago.org.
