Donate

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes.

Why donate a DAF to Chicago Community Loan Fund? Your contribution:

• Allows us to continue our mission: to provide flexible, affordable and responsible financing and technical assistance for community stabilization and development efforts and initiatives that benefit low- to moderate-income neighborhoods, families and individuals throughout metropolitan Chicago.
• Offers opportunities for CCLF to invest capital and work on high risk projects that promise a high social impact that can be developed and further stabilize distressed neighborhoods.
• Expands CCLF’s engagement in the public policy arena and advocacy for its legislative and regulatory priorities.

DAFs can easily be set up through a community foundation or your financial institution. Please contact your fund administrator to request the required documentation for a contribution to CCLF.

Chicago Community Loan Fund is a 501(c)3 organization.

Our mailing address is: 29 E Madison St, Suite 1700, Chicago, IL 60602

Since its founding in 1991, CCLF has closed 602 loans totaling $314 million in financing, which has leveraged an additional $1.7 billion.* With your support, CCLF will continue to grow partners in creating change for low-income communities that are critical engines for the economic progress of the entire region. Thank you for being a social-investment advocate!
