We provide micro-grants directly to Chicago students
Goodsend uses its local network of philanthropy to provide micro-funding directly to low-income students and families at CPS schools and nonprofits.
Goodsend uses its local network of philanthropy to provide micro-funding directly to low-income students and families at CPS schools and nonprofits.
In 2021, we worked with amazing community organizations and used our giving network to send micro-funding to individuals in vulnerable populations such as the homeless, underrepresented job-seekers, and low-income college students.
As we move forward at Goodsend, we’re empowering our direct giving network to exclusively serve our future generation of leaders, innovators, doctors, lawyers, and business owners.
our mission for 2022
Nearly 15% of CPS students experiences some form of homelessness in the city of Chicago.
Nearly 1 in 7 of all CPS students and local college students have experienced the effects of poverty.
Poor students in CPS receive more Ds and Fs than students from advantaged backgrounds. Conversely, wealthier students receive more As and Bs.
Goodsend establishes a partnership with local CPS school or university organization. This partner refers their students to the Goodsend network for aid.
Goodsend posts the students requests to its direct giving network of individual and corporate donors in the Chicago. Their donors contribute to the cause.
Goodsend sends the micro-grant directly to the bank account of the school's referred student candidate and/or their family, with no strings attached.
