North Chicagoland Giving Circle
Who We Are
The North Chicagoland Giving Circle (NCGC) of Chicago Foundation for Women mobilizes philanthropic resources of women and gender-expansive individuals primarily living or working in Chicago’s Northern Suburbs to invest in the economic, social, and collective power of women, girls, and gender expansive individuals in those communities of metropolitan Chicago.
Since 2014, NCGC has granted more than $550,000 to local organizations in northern Cook County and throughout Lake County! Members contribute at least $1,000 annually with a $500 option for young professionals and those for whom $500 better fits their investing budget. There may be scholarships on a case-by-case basis.
