Mission and programs · 2024

• In cooperation with the Chicago Park District Special Recreation Program and the Chicago Public Schools, Special Children's Charities provides funding for the year-round sports training, recreational, and social programs for the children and adults participating in the programs.

  Expenses $6,755,859 · Grants $2,600,770 · Revenue $22,346

• After 22 Program - Developed in partnership with Anixter Center and City Colleges of Chicago, Special Children's Charities funds the After 22 program which gives young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to continue to receive educational services and develop job readiness skills after they age out of the Chicago Public Schools system.

• Art & Music Therapy Program - Special Children's Charities funds art and music therapy services to students in cluster programs at Chicago Public Schools and various Chicago Park District locations. Licensed certified art and music therapists work with students to enhance sensory integration, imagination, and abstract thinking, while they improve their social skills and build stronger relationships.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
