SBB Research Group Names Three Chicago-Area Nonprofits as March 2021 Grant Finalists

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SBB Research Group is pleased to recognize three Chicago-area charities as the March 2021 finalists of its monthly COVID-19 Grant program. The finalists (listed in alphabetical order) this month all focus on the well-being of children and families:

• Beacon Place (Waukegan) is a neighborhood community center that provides enriching and fulfilling experiences to promote critical life skills such as collaboration, accountability, and integrity.
• Bounce Children’s Foundation (Deerfield) transforms the lives of chronically ill children with a supportive community and fun programming that provides a break from doctor visits and painful therapies.
• IMD Guest House (Chicago) provides comfortable, temporary lodging for patients and their families who must travel to Chicago for complex, long-term medical treatment.

Representatives from each of these nonprofits will have the opportunity to discuss their mission with the Chicago-area investment firm’s staff via videoconference. SBB Research Group’s employees will vote to allocate the grant awards, with each finalist to receive at least a $1,000 donation.

Last month, the Automotive Mentoring Group (AMG) received $5,000 to help young men and women escape gang violence by providing them the opportunity to learn the art of classic car and motorcycle restoration. In addition, Aspiritech, which employs over 120 men and women on the autism spectrum in the field of software quality assurance, received $3,000 to empower neurodivergent individuals.
