Mission Statement
A Better Chicago is changing how Chicago fights poverty by investing in bold ideas that create opportunity for Black and Latinx youth.
About This Cause
In our schools, 76 percent of Chicago Public Schools students depend on school for meals and more than 16,400 are homeless. Growing up in one of the most segregated major cities in the United States, Chicago’s low-income youth are often trapped in a cycle of intergenerational poverty that disproportionately impacts our Black and Latinx communities. At A Better Chicago, our mission is to build a more equitable city for our young people and future generations. We know that giving kids the support they need to thrive—a great education, a wage that can sustain a family, the ability to buy a home and live in a safe community—can lead to breaking the cycle of poverty. As a venture philanthropy fund, our model leverages the collective power of Chicagoans who share our commitment to equity. There is so much we can do together when we align our goals and our resources to invest in our communities, local leaders, and the bold ideas we know can transform the lives of millions of families and children.
