Raul Garza, president and chief executive of nonprofit Aunt Martha's in Olympia Fields, initially didn't believe a call saying his organization was in line for a $9 million donation.
The award is through the Chicago Community Trust, and comes as the Yield Giving fund had, through the first half of this year, given $146 million to 24 nonprofits, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy. The unsolicited donation is, apart from grants, the biggest donation Aunt Martha’s has received in its 51 years, according to Raul Garza, president and chief executive officer.
Aunt Martha’s was founded in 1972, and Garza said that private donations over that period have amounted to a bit more than $2 million. “Not talking about grants or anything, it is the largest donation we ever got, more than we ever raised combined over 51 years,” he said. According to Aunt Martha’s, the Yield Giving fund performed “quiet research” on the nonprofit, a process it has used to vet organizations for potential funding.
