Chicago Foundation for Women raises money to fund and support organizations that help women and girls—it's all about making smarter connections between need, money and solutions. We improve the lives of women and girls through grants, advocacy, leadership development, and public and grantee education.

On March 15, celebrate justice for women at the 2012 IMPACT AWARDS

Meet the 2012 Impact Awards honorees -- Chicago-area leaders who defend women's rights in the courtroom, the capitol and beyond. Tickets are now on sale -- and sponsorships are still available!
