Our Inspiring Change Giving Circle is a dedicated community of changemakers who make an annual commitment of $1,000 or more in support of CIS of Chicago’s vital work that keeps students on track to graduation. Students who graduate from high school are healthier, safer, and more economically secure – this has a ripple effect that enhances all of our lives. 100% of your contribution will help to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and succeed in life.
