The Family Trust

Strong families create strong communities

The members of our Family Trust, comprised of supporters who have committed to including Metropolitan Family Services in their financial plans, ensure their family’s crucial investment today will help families throughout metropolitan Chicago and beyond reach their greatest potential for generations to come.

This year, Metropolitan Family Services powered 205,609 families and individuals to learn, earn, heal and thrive. When you strengthen your own family’s financial future through the Family Trust, you’re also strengthening the future of every one of our families, and the future of the communities we serve.

“I’ve been a committed supporter of Metropolitan Family Services for more than two decades, starting with being a member of Metropolitan’s young professionals’ Board and continuing today in my role as a governing Board Member. I sincerely believe in the power of Metropolitan’s impact, and I respect its leadership in shaping social and legal issues that are vital to families throughout metropolitan Chicago. I especially value the support Metropolitan offers to domestic violence survivors, from providing safety plans and counseling to legal representation and emergency shelter. I encourage anyone who wants to make a lasting contribution to Chicago-area families and communities to support Metropolitan’s Family Trust.”
