HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE CAUSE?

It's roughly 80 cents on the dollar around here, meaning that the majority of each dollar you donate goes directly to putting school kids in seats on the bus. Chicago Mahogany does not have a bloated staff or unnecessarily large administrative fees. Therefore, you can trust that our mission of providing enriching communities and neighborhood histories through the power of story will always remain our priority.
