Help CNT Create A Sustainable Future
2008 Annual Campaign
Your support helps CNT develop the innovative programs that build more livable and sustainable urban communities. Unrestricted funding in particular-not tied to any specific project-gives us the freedom to test different strategies and fund the research and development activities that larger institutional donors are less able to support.
Ways to Give
Outright Gift
An outright gift to the Center for Neighborhood Technology can be made by check or credit card. You may make a credit card donation online, or mail your donation to:
Center for Neighborhood Technology
Attn: Accounting
2125 West North Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60647
Innovation Fund
A gift of $1,000 or more will help initiate and support our Innovation Fund, which enables CNT to research and develop inventive programs that foster livable and sustainable urban communities. For more information about the Innovation Fund, email Nicole Gotthelf, Director of Development.
Stock Gifts
You can support CNT with a gift of appreciated stocks. Transfer them to CNT through your broker, avoid capital gains tax and deduct the charitable gift.
Memorial or Honorary Gift
You can make a donation in memory of a loved one or to honor someone special in your life. When you make a tribute or memorial gift, CNT sends a thank you to the special person or family member in recognition of your gift.
Looking for the perfect holiday gift for friends or family? Consider making a gift to CNT in their honor. You can support our innovative programs while honoring your relatives and friends at the same time.
Employer Matching Gifts
Don’t forget to ask your employer about whether it has a matching gift program. This could double or triple your gift to CNT!
