member support fund
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Chicago Region Member Support Fund. The goal of the fund is to make Chapter activities more accessible and encourage attendance and engagement. In some instances, guests of members may also be eligible to receive these funds. The Member Support Fund is available to members who serve nonprofit organizations, public agencies, academic institutions, or those who are in a professional employment transition to help offset the cost of attendance at chapter events and membership dues. |

Fund Management:
The Board of Directors will oversee the management of the fund and the application process. Monies donated to the Chapter will be set aside specifically for the purpose of supporting members who apply for assistance to attend events or supplement dues payments. Applications will be held in the strictest confidence. Monies will be disbursed based on availability throughout the course of the year. Any funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year will be rolled over to the following year. At the conclusion of the pilot year, the Board of Directors will establish a Member Support Fund Committee to oversee the management of the fund.
