Help us make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it most! We are excited to turn our DePaul MBA project into an opportunity of doing something much bigger, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented disruption all around us.  While many of us were impacted in one way or another, there are still those that continue to be impacted even as we begin to return to normalcy.  This impact was amplified for children and adults with disabilities, who are at risk of mental and physical health problems given the impact to their everyday routines and living accommodations.  And that’s exactly where YOU come in to help…Join us in supporting El Valor, a local Chicago nonprofit organization where now more than ever, the mission of empowering and nurturing people with disabilities is at the core of everything they do!


Donations and volunteerism are at an all-time low since the 2009 Recession, but we know that tough times bring a heightened sense of community and goodwill. Whether your donation is $10 or $50, you’ll feel confident that it will go a long way. El Valor’s program focuses on childhood through adulthood.  From serving 9,000 hot meals a week, to conducting health/dental exams, kindergarten prep, or prep with entering the workforce, El Valor’s has a broad reach in the community and it meets participants where they’re at in life.

During COVID, El Valor had also distributed essential items to over 2,000 families, and provided financial assistance to over 400 families during the shutdown.

While several organizations have been impacted during COVID, smaller/local organizations have a harder time building awareness/fundraising.  This is more than just asking for community support… it actually hits close to home for one of our group members, who has personally felt the impact this organization has had in raising a family member with disabilities into adulthood. We can say it's been a huge success story and our hope is to spread the opportunity to support many others in need just like her in our own community!

THANK YOU for your help!
