Family First
The AGB Foundation is dedicated to helping minority families in struggling communities improve their financial security and quality of life. We serve inner city neighborhoods on the South side of Chicago, where people of color have long experienced economic inequality.
In America, white households nationwide have a median wealth 10 times greater than that of black households. The U.S. Treasury Department in 2022 warned that the racial wealth gap, a stark reality in Chicago, may continue to widen. The AGB Foundation is committed to balancing the scales.
Family First provides two types of critical programming: direct assistance to families of color who are experiencing a crisis, and community service projects throughout the year.
Our Family First program adopts deserving families, providing their children with essential items for school and filling critical needs during the holiday season. We deliver Thanksgiving dinners and gifts for their children that the parents otherwise could not afford. This support during a volatile time helps the families continue to meet their work and school commitments.
Strong family relationships are essential building blocks in the development of young people. The AGB Foundation’s outreach efforts give parents the resources to make their children feel secure and valued.
We are honored to support families in need and young adults of color who are seeking to improve their lives. Helping them achieve financial security and build lasting wealth are the ultimate goals of the Family First program.
Community Day of Service
We call ourselves AGB, which stands for Always Giving Back. Reinvesting in our community is extremely important to us. The leadership team at AGB Investigative Services Inc. has built a culture of giving among its more than 700 employees.
The leadership team at AGB Investigative Services Inc. has built a culture of giving among its more than 700 employees. Every year on our anniversary, we celebrate by paying it forward in underserved areas of Chicago. We partner with nonprofit organizations that could use additional resources and volunteers to help them achieve their goals. We engage our own employees, enlisting them in our efforts to help children and families through service. Our Community Appreciation Program is one of the most rewarding and unifying initiatives at AGB!

What does our Day of Service look like?
We have collected new socks, undershirts, and gently used pants and jackets to fill care packages for needy families over the years. We’ve written notes encouraging people to have faith in their own ability to improve their lives. We have shopped for supplies, cooked and served hundreds of meals, and cleaned up afterwards. We’ve packed first aid kits and filled backpacks with school supplies. Our employees are vested in these efforts because they help choose the organizations we sponsor. They also join us in the work—and the joy—of helping others.
The organizations we partner with serve people of color who are going through hardship. By helping others, our own employees expand their awareness of community needs and various organizations they can support. It is our sincere hope to inspire lifelong change within our own staff, empowering them and their family members to become civic leaders who will work to strengthen our community as a whole.
Due to evolving priorities, the AGB Foundation has made the difficult decision to pause its Family First program. We are committed to finding new ways to advance our mission and encourage prospective applicants to check back for updates.
