Mission Building on over 100 years of commitment to the Chicago region, we mobilize people, ideas, organizations, and resources to advance equity and opportunity.
Description As our region's community foundation, The Chicago Community Trust has been here for all Chicagoans for over 110 years. We unite donors, nonprofits and residents to support people, organizations and partnerships that strengthen the Chicago region. We address challenges that stand in the way of a thriving region, including meeting people’s critical needs such as secure housing and healthy food; mobilizing support in response to crises such as the Great Depression and COVID pandemic; and working on ways to build wealth and well-being for Chicagoans, including those who have historically lacked equal access to opportunity. We believe that when our neighbors do better, we all do better.
As an employer, we are committed to providing a fair, consistent, and competitive staff compensation program to attract, develop, and retain high-performing employees at all levels. In partnership with external consultants, the Trust conducts an annual review of its compensation structure, with comprehensive benchmarking performed on a tri-annual basis. The results are used to adjust salaries competitively against the labor market while ensuring we maintain our internal equity.
