Schaumburg A.M. Rotarians and grant recipients representing 14 non-profit organizations gathered at Chandler's in Schaumburg on Wednesday, June 10, for the club's Community Grant Awards Breakfast.
This annual event provides funding and recognition that supports our community partners and their initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the greater Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates area and beyond.
These grants help feed families facing food insecurity, empower youth through leadership and skill‑building programs, and provide safety, healing, and hope for women, children, and families impacted by domestic, physical and sexual violence, autism, burn related injuries, and physical disabilities. We also support organizations that walk alongside birth moms, adoptive families, and single moms as they navigate life’s challenges.
Together, we’re making a meaningful difference where it matters most.
Our 2025/2026 grant recipients include -
- Basket Brigade of Suburban Chicago
- Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Illinois
- Bricks of Hope
- Camp I Am Me / Illinois Fire Safety Alliance
- Children's Advocacy Center of North & Northwest Cook County
- Feed My Starving Children
- Fellowship Housing Corporation
- Hopeful Beginnings
- Schaumburg Area Scouting America Units
- SD54 Autism Resource Center / NEST
- Schaumburg Twp Food Pantry

Additionally, a set of entry level professional grade culinary tool kits were awarded to five D211 students to assist them in launching a meaningful and productive career in that field. Recipients were selected by administrators and culinary pathway program teachers from all five D211 schools.
These tool kits are funded through Schaumburg A. M. Rotary’s Project Toolkit program that provides job-ready toolkits and/or scholarships that help aspiring tradespeople confidently enter their chosen careers.
