The Chicago Council on Global Affairs

Fundraising and Support for Fiscal Year 2014 July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014

Generous support from members, foundations, and Chicago’s top civic,

corporate, and philanthropic leaders this year made it possible for The

Chicago Council on Global Affairs to organize and host more than 200

public and leadership programs and to influence important policy

debates through studies, public opinion surveys, conferences, and

task forces. In 2013-14, individuals provided more than $4.6 million in

support, corporations more than $2.9 million, and foundations more

than $2.6 million, a total increase of more than $1 million over fiscal

year 2013. This expanding base of support ensures the Council remains

financially stable while also enabling it to enhance its programming and

studies offerings and reach new audiences.

2013 Global Connections Dinner SeriesThe Global Connections Dinner Series provides opportunities for intimate conversation in private settings. Members of the Council’s Board of Directors, Chairman’s Circle, Directors’ Circle, and President’s Circle host dinners in their homes or other private venues and personally select the topic and theme. Experts, artists, scholars, and visiting dignitaries are invited to lead the evenings’ discussions. Funds raised through the series support the Council’s ability to provide a public education forum for all Chicago-area residents interested in world affairs.

The 2013 Global Connections Dinners covered topics such as the global economy, immigration reform, and the crisis in Syria. Memorable speakers included Carly Fiorina, Walter Isaacson, and Martin Wolf, among many others.
