Investing in an Equitable and Thriving Chicago: Our Strategy and Impact
We commit ourselves to curiosity, exploration, playfulness, learning and unlearning, to asking good questions and listening deeply to the answers with open eyes, minds and hearts.
We believe good ideas come from all kinds of places and aren’t always without risk, so we support the freedom to fail, big leaps, audacious hunches and sentences like, “This may sound crazy, but…"
Always coming from a place of humility, kindness and caring, telling the truth matters, even if we don’t agree. Good intentions and careful action matter. Honesty and ethical decision-making matter.
Diversity of life experience, point of view and background are essential to solving complex problems. We seek out and celebrate differences between us, trust each other and collaborate with our partners.
We want to help make the world a better place for everyone. It’s why we go to work every morning.
We’re proud to be based in Chicago, a global city with a strong and generous spirit that brings together technological innovation, abundant natural resources, major corporations and renowned academic institutions. Our team members live in communities throughout the city and surrounding suburbs. We often come together for volunteer opportunities at the incredible non-profits and community organizations across Chicago.
Our commitment to uplift and prioritize all the people of Chicago shines through our Chicago Good Neighbor program. A core focus of the program is empowering our communities to thrive by supporting entrepreneurs, community-led projects and local financial organizations.
Since 2019, the Builders Vision Foundation has proudly awarded $144 million in grants to Chicago-based organizations. We collaborate and actively partner with the city’s many respected civic and philanthropic institutions to strengthen neighborhoods and support large-scale civic initiatives.
