Big Shoulders Fund is an independent charitable organization that serves schools with demonstrated need, which provide a quality, values-based education for Chicago’s children, thereby contributing to stronger communities.

One hundred percent of funds currently raised support four major areas – scholarships and enrichment, operational improvements, academic programs, and leadership development– with the goal of not just strengthening schools, but whole communities, and preparing students for life-long success.
