In-Kind
In-kind donations are a valuable resource to the Chicago Architecture Foundation, offsetting costs of providing year-round programs that serve nearly 500,000 individuals annually. The Chicago Architecture Foundation welcomes donations of materials, supplies, and equipment: from lumber and hardware for fabricating exhibitions to arts and crafts materials for family programs. In-kind donations of significant value are recognized with other contributor credits, providing donors with marketing opportunities on exhibition signage and program materials that reach thousands of area residents.
