Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is a district on the rise, serving over 320,000 students in 500+ schools and employing over 44,000 people, most of them teachers. CPS has set ambitious goals to ensure that every student, in every school and every neighborhood, has access to a world-class learning experience that prepares each for success in college, career, and civic life. In order to fulfill this mission, we make three commitments to our students, their families, and all Chicagoans: academic progress, financial stability, and integrity. Six core values are embedded within these commitments – student-centered, whole child, equity, academic excellence, community partnership, and continuous learning.

Children First Fund (CFF) is the foundation and partnership arm of CPS, which works to match Chicago’s resources with the schools and communities where they are needed most. Through CFF, everyone in Chicago—from the philanthropic and business communities to higher education, healthcare, and cultural institutions to individuals—has the opportunity to make a profound and positive impact on the lives of students.
