Collective Advocacy Board
Our Mission
To disrupt homelessness with dignity by transferring belief in a cause we collectively
care about by leveraging our unique skills
& networks for the good of others.
What?
The Collective Advocacy Board
is a group of big-hearted people that "give a damn."
Board members sign on for a
one-year commitment to leverage their resources and networks toraise awareness and funds tohelp fund Collective Chicago'slife-changing work.
Why?
In the last five years,
Collective Chicago has received five times more applications
for housing than we are
able to provide.
​
More funding means more housing, and means more people helped out of homelessness and into sustainable futures.
How?
Advocacy Board members share passion and genuine belief in the Collective's mission.
Members consistently dedicate
time to fundraising efforts and collaborate with others
to host support dinners with invited guests.​
