Big Shoulders Fund is an independent charitable organization that supports Chicago-area schools with demonstrated need, enabling them to offer a quality, values-based education for local children. All funds raised are directed to four core areas—scholarships and enrichment, operational improvements, academic programs, and leadership development—with the aim of strengthening schools and surrounding communities and preparing students for lifelong success. The organization is based in Chicago, Illinois, and operates regionally, including activities in Northwest Indiana through partnerships such as with the Catholic Diocese of Gary since 2019. In 2025, the Northwest Indiana division launched an Auxiliary Board to bolster governance and outreach efforts. The nonprofit maintains a regional footprint with a mid-sized staff, reflecting its role as a community-focused organization. Its work centers on underserved schools and students, delivering resources and opportunities to broaden access and improve educational outcomes.
