Program Description:
From day one, we have felt that it is our duty to give
back to the community that supports and gives us so much.
Thanks to our partnership with diverse Chicago-area non-profit
organizations, we are able to have a direct impact on the
number of people we help through our Charity of the Month
program. Donations since the feature premiered in 1993 exceed
$430,000.
In our tenth year of working with local non-profit groups,
we commend these organizations for their fine work with
our people and making a difference in the community we work
and live.
How the program works:
The Signature Room at the 95th offers a monthly, four-course
menu, known as the
“Signature Selection” menu. Selected non-profit
local organization receives 10% of the sales from this menu,
offered during dinner throughout sponsored month.
Requirements:
A representative from selected organization is requested
to meet with our staff on the 1st Friday of their sponsored
month or the last Friday of the previous month, depending
on which Friday is closest to the beginning of the month.
(The date will be included in notification letters –
see Review Process, #2 below.) This brief presentation will
give our staff the tools to better communicate with our
guests to invite them to support chosen organization.
Review process:
- At the end of August, applications are reviewed by the
executive committee, in the order applications were received,
for consideration for the following program year.
- At the end of September, notifications of selection
and non-selection are sent out to all applying organizations.
- As a policy, we do not meet with candidate organizations.
This policy was implemented to maintain the equality in
the selection process. All applications are reviewed and
selected based solely on the information submitted by
candidate organizations and research conducted by our
staff.
