Find Your Cause

Find Your Cause brings together two prominent groups in Chicago, our non-profits and young professionals, in order to inform and inspire individuals to get involved in the organizations that champion philanthropic action.
 
For civic-minded professionals this unique event providesand opportunity to learn about dozens of Chicago-based, non-profit organizations in need of volunteers, associate and auxiliary board members, business sponsors and more generally, increased awareness. Whether it be tutoring a student once a month, assisting with a fund raising campaign or taking a leadership role by joining an auxiliary board, this event is sure to connect you to the cause that you are most passionate about!
 
For non-profit organizations Find Your Cause is a great opportunity to let over 300 young professionals know about and become involved in your work in making Chicago one of the world's best places to live and work.  Non-profits will be provided an exhibit space (table) and should have 1-2 energetic individuals to help promote your cause along with information/ marketing materials (brochures, pamphlets, sign-up sheets, modest signage.)
