Ignite relies on the generosity of donors like you to provide housing, prevention, and supportive services, and a place to call home for hundreds of young people each year.
Your support helps unstably housed young people or those at the greatest risk of harm, ages 10 to 26 start their journey to safety, stability, and a future with promise.
Together, we are creating a more equitable Chicago.
