350 Chicago has joined Community Shares of Illinois’ coalition of nonprofits and will now benefit from donations received through giving campaigns at workplaces throughout Illinois.  

Community Shares organizes workplace giving campaigns throughout Illinois. Donors can specify 350 Chicago as the recipient of their donations and we can earn more from a general fund by participating in Community Shares. With these donations 350 Chicago will continue to fight the climate crisis in Illinois. Our mission is to build a sustainable and resilient state by educating ourselves and our communities, engaging with leaders, organizing coalitions to achieve goals, and taking grassroots action.

If you are a current state or county employee in Illinois including at Illinois universities and the public school systems, you can donate to 350 Chicago through the State and Universities Employees Combined Appeal (SECA)website. If you are submitting the paperwork manually, you will need to include the seven digit designation code of 903-0710 to correctly identify our organization for the donations.
