​IMPACT Chicago Information



IMPACT Chicago, founded in 1987, is a not-for-profit organization (403(b)), governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and an Administrative Team. 

We are a nimble organization. We are mission-driven with clear, manageable goals. We are efficient, effective, and selective (meaning we minimize work that does not clearly push our mission forward or is not required for fiscal solvency). Our mission and programming are at the center of our work; our organizational structure spreads out responsibility for work required to keep our mission and programming going across three key groups: Board/Committees, Instructors, and Administration.
