Unrestricted funds are the most valuable type of funds a research organization can have, because there is a great need to support the development of new ideas and explore new areas or new methods of research before they are ready to be funded on a project basis.

Chapin Hall developed the Investors in Children program for donors wishing to contribute to the well-being of children by making a significant commitment to research. The support provided by Investors enables Chapin Hall to look to the future and develop and test new ideas. Although Chapin Hall receives most of its funding through grants and contracts tied to specific projects, it is the flexible support made possible by Investors and other donors that fosters innovation at Chapin Hall.

The individuals and organizations contributing unrestricted funds to Chapin Hall are very special donors. The value of the work they support may not be immediately recognizable, but the research they support is the first and most fundamental step in generating knowledge that can better the lives of children and youth.

Investors in Children make annual gifts of $1,000 or more to Chapin Hall research. To make a gift of any amount to Chapin Hall, you may access the University of Chicago's Chicago Initiative web page.

For more information on investing in Chapin Hall's work, contact Ada Skyles, Chapin Hall Associate Director, at askyles@chapinhall.org.
