General Donation

THANK YOU!

Donations will support our community programs such as Safety and Security initiatives, gardens at Lake Shore Park, SOAR Farmers Market, and Town Hall meetings with elected officials. These funds also support our communication programs and operational costs. We value your support and thank you for your loyalty to the organization.

Employer Matching Gift Programs

Many employers offer matching gift programs through which employers match charitable contributions made by employees to eligible charities.  Taking advantage of these programs is easy to do:

  • Check with the Human Resources department to determine whether there is an employer matching gift program.
  • Request donation guidelines and a list of qualifying charities.  Many employers will match donations given to tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations like SOAR.
  • Follow the employer specified instructions for requesting a matching contribution.
If you need specific documentation or information from SOAR, please contact the SOAR office at office@soarchicago.org or by phone at 312-280-2596.
