The work we do in Chicago public schools helps keep students in school and on track to graduate. It has a data-driven impact. It efficiently leverages community resources, and focuses on proven programs. For less than $50 per student, we are able to achieve important results in improving social/emotional health, physical health, arts enrichment, and college and career readiness. All of this comes together to keep students in school and on track to graduate prepared for success.
This combination of efficiency and effectiveness appeals to our sponsors and donors. They view their donations as investments – in our work, in the students of Chicago, and in the city of Chicago. Our current partners encompass leading foundations, civic-minded corporations, and caring individuals. Their generous support allows us to serve the students of Chicago, which serves the greater good as well.
Join us in support of our mission.
DONOR PROFILE: Paul M. Angell Family Foundation
Communities In Schools of Chicago is grateful for the partnership with the Paul M. Angel Family Foundation.
The foundation, which honors Paul M. Angell and his ideals, supports efforts designed to help alter the life trajectories of socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals and families, including school completion for at-risk youth. This focus aligns with the CIS of Chicago mission to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
In the Spring of 2017, individuals from the foundation joined us on a site visit to see our work in action at Chavez Multicultural Elementary, located in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. During the visit, we witnessed the genuine connection between Jessica Juarez, CIS of Chicago Student Supports Manager, and the students she works with every day. Kim Van Horn, of the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation noted that “the only thing that works is a real relationship” – and we couldn’t agree more.
We also saw firsthand just how much the school staff values Jessica’s presence in the school – with the Principal stating that he now has the time to focus on being a principal.
Partnership with the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation is supporting expansion of this program to more schools where student support is most needed. Together, we are removing students’ barriers to learning which ensures that they have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Thanks to our new 2018 donors!
