Giving Tuesday


Home can mean so many things, and for the hundreds of young people finding refuge at Ignite this year, home is a place of safety, love, and the support needed to envision a brighter future.

This Giving Tuesday, make a gift to Ignite and help #EndHomelessness in Chicago. Your gift of any amount directly supports youth building a better future at Ignite. In honor of Ignite's 50th Anniversary, donors of $50 or more will be entered to win 10 tickets to the Ignite & Shine Gala, an elegant evening at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago (valued at $5,000.)

 At Ignite, we provide resources and programs for young people ages 10 to 26, helping them grow as individuals, connect with their community, and acquire the tools necessary for their journey toward stable housing and a promising future.

Your gift empowers young people to achieve lasting personal and economic independence. Ignite's essential services include housing, education, employment, mental and physical health, and life skills development, all within a nurturing community. This year, Ignite will serve over 850 young people across our programs. Join us and "ignite" a brighter future for youth at the greatest risk of harm in Chicago.
