1,000 Hearts

For over 20 years, Corazon Community Services has supported the needs of children, youth, and families in the Berwyn and Cicero communities. Through our essential and free services, we have engaged with over 80,000 people in our neighborhoods.

In the Town of Cicero alone, we played a major role in reducing the rate of teen pregnancies by 90% through our educational programming and wellness efforts.

This community-driven giving campaign will unite 1,000 hearts in building a stronger organization for our community. Our goal is to raise $120,000 a year through individual contributions of $10 a month. Your collective impact will help upgrade programming to offer more robust and sustainable services.

Join us in this mission of unity.

Together, we can build a brighter future for our community, one heart at a time.

Donor Testimonials

“When I donate to Corazón and other non-profits, I donate without any restrictions on the funds. I want the organizations to be able to utilize the money in ways that perhaps a grant doesn’t allow for, giving them greater flexibility.

Donations are vital to this organization to advance their mission, to grow. Please know, no matter the size of your gift, you are contributing to the continued well-being of the Cicero/Berwyn community, creating a better world, and you and your gift are greatly appreciated.”

-Rachelle Zola, Donor and Former Board Member

“Corazón allowed me to be the person I am today. I believe organizations like Corazon can alter individuals' lives, therefore I donate to help leverage a larger impact. I believe in the mission and the potential it can have for a community like Cicero. 

For nonprofits, we are often limited to expenses we can make due to restrictions from funders. Individual donations are unrestricted and allow organizations like Corazón and other nonprofits to make expenses and bridge the gap that certain funders do not cover.“

-Esteban Rodriguez, Executive Director and Former Youth Participant
