Giving Tuesday 2025

Project Impact 180 serves youth in North Lawndale and surrounding Chicago communities with mentoring, academic support, outdoor learning, leadership development, and safe spaces to grow.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising funds to Fuel the Mission so we can continue showing up consistently and safely for Chicago's youth.

🚐 Safe Transportation for Youth

Right now, our team uses personal vehicles to get youth home safely — sometimes making multiple trips a night.
A dedicated 12–15 passenger van will allow us to expand field trips, college tours, and ensure every youth gets home safely.

A dedicated 12–15 passenger van will allow us to:

Transport youth safely and consistently
Expand college tours & exposure trips
Take youth on outdoor learning experiences
Provide safe transportation after evening programs
Remove transportation barriers for families

Safe transportation isn’t optional — it’s essential.

👥 Strengthen Leadership & Staffing

Our leaders have personally taken on additional responsibilities to keep programs running during funding transitions.
Your support helps stabilize staffing and build long-term organizational sustainability.

🌱 Support Year-Round Youth Programs

Your support fuels all the programs youth depend on:

Beyond the Classroom (Academic support)
Every Kid Outdoors
Leadership Labs + Workforce Development
Music & Me
Mentoring for ages 11–24
Meals, supplies, stipends, and safe spaces

These programs aren’t just activities — they are lifelines.
