On October 25, 2011, we gave away $42,000 to our Nonprofit Partners at a celebration in downtown Chicago!   

 

This philanthropy was generated by a recent real estate transaction involving an IIC Real Estate Member and Urban Partnership Bank. Urban Partnership Bank is an FDIC-insured community development bank serving Chicago's urban neighborhoods. By working with an IIC Member, the bank generated $42,000 in charitable funding for eligible nonprofits. Through IIC, the bank truly made its deal make a difference. 

We distributed these funds through a random drawing featuring 15 cash awards. Congratulations to the 15 IIC Nonprofit Partners selected to receive funding! 

One $10,000 Grand Award


Three $5,000 Awards

Four $2,500 Awards

Seven $1,000 Awards
