CFF Compassion Fund:
Donations to the Compassion Fund help meet needs of our most vulnerable families during times of crisis. This includes support for migrant/newcomer students as well as others in temporary living situations, and other urgent requests from CPS families and school communities. The Compassion Fund also supports the annual Legacy of Love luncheon for families of CPS students who’ve passed away during the previous year, aiming to bring healing, strength, and glimmers of joy during the holiday season
IDEAL FOR: Individuals, larger organizational donations, and contributions of all sizes

In-Kind Donation Opportunities:

We know that our families rely on CPS for more than an education. Your support allows our schools and principals to respond to heightened needs of their student body–fostering community, boosting morale, and helping students to learn and thrive.
Thanks to your generosity, we’re making the holidays memorable for students across our city.
