Northwestern Settlement nurtures, educates, and inspires children, families and seniors in need, empowering them to take personal responsibility and attain self-sufficiency. Since 1891, Northwestern Settlement has served Chicago’s West Town community by offering wrap-around services that fit the complex, holistic needs of our ‘neighbors’. Northwestern Settlement served 44,000 neighbors last year, through more than 70 programs that focus on education and social services, and the arts through our award-winning, nationally recognized Adventure Stage Chicago theatre. Northwestern Settlement is unique in its ability to both address short-term crises, and create long-term community transformation.

The success of Settlement programs depends on the financial contributions of many individuals, businesses, and organizations.  Supporters may donate to the Northwestern University Settlement Association online through the Events.org site.
