Why give to Special Children's Charities this Giving Tuesday?

Special Children’s Charities provides free, year-round programs for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across all 77 Chicago neighborhoods. Nearly 70% of participants live below the poverty line, so removing financial barriers is essential to ensuring access, inclusion, and joy.

Our programs build confidence, spark creativity, foster friendships, and create community. And yes, there’s always dancing.
