Our Mission

Invest For Kids is dedicated to supporting highly impactful nonprofit organizations that serve Chicago area youth from disadvantaged communities. We host an annual investment conference where industry leaders share their best ideas. Our co-founders underwrite 100% of the conference expenses, allowing all proceeds from the conference to be awarded to our nonprofit partners and ongoing initiatives.

Our Model

Invest for Kids has three principle goals:

  1. Assemble the most highly regarded investment managers to present their best investable ideas
  2. Bring the Chicago investment community together annually for a highly anticipated event
  3. Support not-for-profits that serve Chicago area youth with an emphasis on smaller organizations where IFK’s funding will have the most impact
