AIGA Chicago’s success is in large part due to the generosity, involvement and support of its patron community. All contributions to our chapter are recorded upon receipt and reviewed on an annual basis. Patrons with annual contributions of $5,000 or more are considered Benefactors, and receive special benefits for their support. They are listed as Benefactors on our community patron list, which is published throughout the year on the AIGA Chicago website.
