CHIditarod XX: Celebrating 20 years of Fighting Hunger
We are celebrating 20 years of dressing up, causing chaos and doing good. So set your calendars for CHIditarod XX on Saturday March 1st, 2025. This year we are aiming to break the million dollars raised over our 20 year history.
Fundraising for CHIditarod Foundation
The Greater Chicago Food Depository — which is a major resource for many of the organizations supported by the Chiditarod Foundation — expects to spend more than double the amount of money on food purchasing in fiscal 2022 as they did in 2021. A clear sign that the effects of the pandemic on hunger and food insecurity are not getting better. The CHIditarod Foundation seeks to alleviate hunger and solve the root causes of hunger through creativity, engagement and direct action.
Help provide grants to local, small 501(c)(3) organizations that share our hunger-fighting mission!

$115,000 to help feed people in northern Illinois!
Thanks to all of the teams and individuals who hustled their families, friends, and colleagues to FUNdraise a RECORD AMOUNT in 2024, the Chiditarod Foundation was able to both expand our reach to northern Illinois outside the Chicago metro area. We received a huge number of new applicants due to new regional outreach by the foundation board, and gave out nearly $115,000 in Community Grants for both program development and infrastructure projects, with an equal number of organizations receiving grants under each program for the first time. Another truly mind-blowing year of fundraising enables us to help 22 organizations that are benefiting from the generosity of donors who have given so much to the cause to help solve food insecurity in northern Illinois.
