AMIGOS Volunteers participate in fundraising to cover a portion of the cost of this program. The funds that are raised go to cover the cost of the training program, domestic and international airfare, safety, in-country transportation, project materials, and program project staff in country. The Urban Chicago Chapter holds various fundraisers during the year to help Volunteers raise money. 

• Grapefruit & Orange Sales

  • We will have grapefruit and oranges available for delivery in mid December. If you wish to be contacted when sales open, please let us know.

• Letterwriting Campaign

  • Volunteers, with the help of the chapter, send letters letting their family and friends know about their participation in the AMIGOS program and request their support for their project.

• Fiesta and Silent Auction

  • In the spring, we organize a fiesta and silent auction at the National Museum of Mexican Art in the Pilsen Neighborhood where family and friends come together to enjoy a meal and to bid on items. All proceeds directly benefit the Chicago AMIGOS Chapter.

  • Let us know if you are interested in donating an item for the silent auction!

The chapter also raises money from the greater Chicago area from corporate donors and individual contributions. We would like to thank our generous supporters who make our work possible!
