KPMG Chicago’s commitment to Auburn Gresham

In 2020 in partnership with United Way of Metro Chicago, KPMG Chicago shifted our investment through the United Way Neighborhood Network Initiative into the Auburn Gresham community. KPMG stands behind United Way’s belief that the zip code a person lives in should not determine their destiny. By shifting our attention to Auburn Gresham, we hope to make a deeper impact and provide more opportunities to create a healthy, safe and sustainable neighborhood.

Why Auburn Gresham? We have a common agenda and aligned community focus.

• At KPMG, lifelong learning means advancing your knowledge and skills at all stages of life. KPMG envisions a world where there is equitable access to transformative education opportunities for all, and we support targeted and customized programs and efforts designed to empower everyone to be a lifelong learner. 
• The Auburn Gresham Neighborhood Network is just as equally invested in equitable education for all. They are committed to ensuring early literacy training for children pre-K to third grade and providing families with access to comprehensive social supports. Their bold goal is that 80% of their third grade students are reading at or above grade level by 2027.
