For over four decades, The Saints have been the heartbeat of Chicago’s performing arts scene, a volunteer-powered force that has quietly helped to shape the city’s cultural landscape. Our mission is simple yet profound: to support arts organizations through dedicated volunteer service and a robust annual grants program.
What began as a group of passionate arts advocates has grown into a community of over 1,700 members. The Saints' Board of Directors is pleased to share the below Annual Reports. These reports reflect not just numbers on a page, but the collective impact of thousands of volunteer hours and the enduring generosity of our members. The reports tell a story of community, culture, and our shared commitment to the performing arts that enrich Chicago and surrounding communities.
