3 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• IN A KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN ECONOMY, EDUCATION CAN OPEN THE DOOR TO JOBS, INNOVATION, AND MORE. YET, FOR MANY CHICAGO STUDENTS, AFFORDABLE OUT-OF-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES REMAIN LIMITED. DONOR-POWERED PROGRAMS SUCH AS SUMMER LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND AFTERSCHOOL HOMEWORK HELP LEVERAGE OUR LIBRARY'S CITY-WIDE 81-BRANCH FOOTPRINT, RESOURCES, AND COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING TO HELP ENSURE THAT ALL OUR CITY'S CHILDREN HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO THRIVE EARLY IN LIFE AND BEYOND.

  Expenses $1,390,422

• CHICAGO'S WORLD-RENOWNED ARTS AND CULTURE SECTOR FUELS CREATIVE, ECONOMIC, AND INNOVATIVE GROWTH. BUT MANY CHICAGOANS ARE SHUT OUT FROM THE HOLISTIC BENEFITS OF THE ARTS DUE TO HIGH COSTS. OUR CITY, IN TURN, MISSES OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ELEVATED AND ENRICHED BY THE INCLUSION OF DIFFERENT VOICES AND VIEWPOINTS. THESE PROGRAMS INVITE ALL CHICAGOANS TO EXPLORE WAYS OF EXPRESSING THEMSELVES AND IMAGINING NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR THEIR LIVES, THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND CHICAGO.

  Expenses $1,577,380

• WITH ONLINE LEARNING, TELEHEALTH, SERVICES, AND REMOTE EMPLOYMENT ON THE RISE, INTERNET ACCESS AND DIGITAL LITERACY ARE MORE VITAL TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE. YET, MANY ADULTS AND OLDER ADULTS LACK THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO NAVIGATE OUR DIGITAL WORLD. THESE PROGRAMS WORK TO BRIDGE THIS SKILL AND RESOURCE GAP KNOWN AS THE DIGITAL DIVIDE THROUGH USER-FRIENDLY VIDEO-BASED MODULES ON CHICAGO DIGITALLEARN AND ONE-TO-ONE DIGITAL LITERACY LESSONS WITH A TRAINED DIGITAL NAVIGATOR.

  Expenses $613,832

• OTHER PROGRAMMATIC EXPENDITURES INCLUDE BRANCH PROGRAMS AND OTHER LIBRARY PROGRAMS THAT ARE HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

  Expenses $264,929

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.
