 Mission Statement
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 Big Shoulders are used for scholarships, special education
programs, instructional equipment, much needed facility improvements, faculty support, and
operating grants.
Serving both Catholics and non-Catholics, Big Shoulders Fund supported schools are seen
as anchors in their communities and in the lives of the families they serve. It is our
hope to provide the inner-city Catholic schools with the resources to prepare Chicago's
young people for a productive future. The Big Shoulders Fund seeks to offer inner-city
children and their parents the choice of a faith-based, value-centered education.
*Note: Families interested in scholarship support need to
contact the principal of the Catholic elementary school or the financial aid
office of the Catholic high school where their child/children are enrolled. Big
Shoulders works directly with schools
for applications and awards.
