Thank you to our grantee, @TheCRCL, for honoring us with the Corporate Partner of the Year Award! We are grateful to have worked with you throughout the years to help provide grants for early childhood education and look forward to our continuing work together.

We are proud to partner with @ShareOurSpare and @DPIL_stratford to ensure that every child has books of their own at home. Please help spread the word to enroll more families for free monthly books at spr.ly/6010BBBf3C.

Congratulations to our grantee, @TheCRCL, on the re-opening of their flagship Little Village site following onsite upgrades. From fundraising to design to execution, Bela Mote and the team at Carole Robertson led with intentionality and thoughtfulness. We were honored to be a part of their ribbon-cutting day.

The CME Group Foundation’s 2024-25 Early Childhood Education Initiative invested $1.77M across 27 Chicagoland area organizations to support early childhood education. Grantees directly supported more than 152,000 early learners, with 85% of students showing a measurable increase in essential kindergarten skills.

Additionally, by empowering over 800 educators with professional development, we built a foundation for lifelong success across Illinois.
