There are many ways to give back to The Ark and make a difference for our clients and our community. Your contribution, at any level, has a life-changing impact for those who come to The Ark in search of support. Please contact us with any questions at 773-681-8980 or giving@arkchicago.org.
The Ark has provided vital human services to our community for more than 50 years. After three decades on California Avenue, the time is now to renovate and expand our home in West Rogers Park. Our uplifting, landmark renovation will help The Ark better serve our clients with the dignity they deserve and to meet the emerging needs of the community.
The Ark’s signature annual fundraiser has been a cherished community tradition for more than two decades. Because our dinner is “Dinner-Less,” you know that your generous support goes directly where it is needed most: providing free, life-changing services for Chicagoland Jews in need.
Members of The Ark’s Legacy Society have made a commitment to support and sustain our vital work by recognizing The Ark in their estate plans. You can create a legacy at The Ark through a bequest, a gift of life insurance, as a beneficiary of your retirement or other benefit accounts, an annuity, trust, and more. Please contact Adam Parker, Director of Development, to learn more today.
