Giving Tuesday

Why Your Gift Matters Now

From the beginning, this campaign was about far more than bricks and mortar. It was about building possibility.

A Home That Reflects Our Mission

Our new headquarters and expanding program hubs—including the additional Mundelein Day Program & Behavioral Health Clinic site—were intentionally designed to reflect Glenkirk’s philosophy:

• Imagine a space where individuals can dream big.

• Explore environments that foster independence and growth.

• Connect with staff, peers, and the broader community in meaningful ways.

The capital campaign supports critical renovations, therapeutic spaces, modern accessibility features, technology upgrades, and safe, welcoming gathering spaces that honor the dignity and strengths of every participant.

A Vision Built on Community

Last year, we shared that this campaign would only succeed through partnership—and you have shown up. Donors at every level have stepped forward, from major gifts that established naming rights for the auditorium, boardroom, and community garden benches, to supporters contributing to donor-wall plaques celebrating Glenkirk’s mission.

Now we are just $600,000 away from fully funding this once-in-a-generation transformation.

A Campaign Fueled by Momentum

In the past year alone:

• Our headquarters relocation became a reality, creating a modern, accessible, community-facing home.

• Our new day program and Behavioral Health Clinic expansions moved forward, increasing service capacity for youth, adolescents, and adults.

• We welcomed more families, hosted community tours, strengthened partnerships, and deepened our presence in Northbrook, Highland Park, Mundelein, and surrounding communities.

Your support has already changed lives. Now we need your help to finish strong.
