ChiTech operates like a lean start-up – we find innovative ways to minimize our expenses while improving student achievement and opportunity. CPS, state, and federal funding allocates $10,275 per student to the school, but the true cost to educate a ChiTech student is $15,000. It is up to us to cover that gap. Our annual fundraising need is nearly $500,000.

This is a big number, and we rely heavily on our supporters to help meet the difference.

The funds raised allow our students to benefit from a rigorous and robust ChiTech education.

Programs and resources supported include:

• Real World Learning Programs (e.g., Internships, Power Lunches, Field Trips)
• Classroom Supplies and Resources
• Student Enrichment Programs (ACT Prep, Counseling, Social-Emotional Learning, Special Education Supports)
• Technology & Software
• Project Equipment and Tools
• Teacher Professional Development
