OUR PARTNERS & SUPPORTERS
The Institute for Nonviolence Chicago greatly appreciates the friendship and generosity of the many individuals and organizations whose contributions from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, allowed us to continue our fight against violence in Chicago’s most vulnerable neighborhoods. We, along with all the residents, families, and neighborhoods we serve say THANK YOU!
Together we will build a more safe, peaceful and just Chicago for us all.
