Why Community Shares?

efficiently raise funds as a group. Members spend less time fundraising allowing more staff time for programs.
enhance awareness of services provided by our member organizations. Individuals, families, and communities can find the help they need when they need it.
work to give employees expanded charity choices in workplace giving programs. Individuals can support the causes close to their heart.
raise the level of individual philanthropy throughout Illinois and Indiana. Every employee makes a difference with whatever amount they contribute.
screen member organizations when they apply and monitor annually to ensure they are reputable and productive groups.
