The mission of the Big Shoulders Fund is to provide support to the Catholic
schools in the neediest areas of inner-city Chicago. 100% of the funds raised by
the Big Shoulders Fund are used to support children through scholarships,
special education programs, instructional equipment, much needed school facility
improvements, faculty support, and operating grants. The Big Shoulders
Fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
