Let’s Make It Happen!
As 2025 comes to a close, the AGB Foundation has a $10,000 fundraising goal to support our impactful programs and initiatives. Your generous contribution will help us empower future leaders and create lasting change in our communities.
Talent is everywhere. Access is not.
Your gift empowers the AGB Foundation to make access real for Chicago youth and families.
- Fund paid Summer Business Internships that deliver real projects, expert coaching, micro learning, professional attire, and well being tools so students contribute on day one and create their own reality.
- Build the Alumni Network with headshots, resume and LinkedIn refresh, letters of recommendation, warm introductions to jobs and internships, and targeted emergency support so momentum is never lost.
- Underwrite College Scholarships and last mile completion grants that keep students on track to cross the stage and step into living wage careers.
- Power Family First community events that meet urgent needs with dignity. Bikes, backpacks, holiday meals, and celebrations that connect families to resources and caring partners.
- Strengthen program operations and the opportunity pipeline. Curriculum and data, technology, and employer projects that deepen workforce training and scale corporate partnerships.
Why Support the AGB Foundation?
We realize we aren’t the only organization sending holiday appeals for charitable giving. What makes the AGB Foundation different is our focus on preparing deserving young people from underserved communities for success in the workforce.
Our Business Internships and College Scholarships are the main vehicles for accomplishing that work. We have built an impressive track record with those programs, but there is so much more to do.

The need in our underserved communities is tremendous
There is almost no upward mobility for young people of color growing up in poverty in Chicago. In low-income neighborhoods in Cook County, only 2.8 percent of African American children and 8.2 of Hispanics rise out of poverty, compared with 20 percent of white children, according to a study by the Opportunity Atlas. The AGB Foundation is dedicated to lifting up young people of color who otherwise are unlikely to escape this cycle.
Our foundation is young, like the people we serve. And like them, we have dreams of accomplishing great things. We want to inspire and prepare as many deserving young people to become professionals and industry leaders as possible. Won’t you help us break the cycle of poverty?
Please give as generously as you can, so that we can serve even more young people in Chicago.
