Individual and Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities

The Annual Benefit is Chicago Humanities’ signature fundraiser and one of Chicago’s premier fall events. Bringing together civic, corporate, and philanthropic leaders, together we raise critical funds which bring our programs to life.

All proceeds from the evening ensure Chicago Humanities remains our city’s home for vital civic and cultural conversations as we fulfill our mission to amplify new ideas and voices in ways only the arts and humanities are able — with depth, power, perspective, and passion.

Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you there!
