Executive Service Corps of Chicago (ESC) provides capacity-building consulting services for over 150 nonprofit and public agency client organizations every year.
Engaging a volunteer consultant corps of over 270 volunteers who offer the expertise, skills and knowledge they developed through long-time leadership careers, ESC equips nonprofits and public agencies with insights and guidance to provide the best in programs and services for the constituents they serve.
Operating for more than 30 years as Chicago’s largest nonprofit consulting firm, ESC provides leadership, management, governance and transformation services to public libraries, schools, community health providers, park districts, arts and culture organizations, municipal agencies, philanthropic organizations and more.
Services are delivered at a cost far below market-rate thanks to ESC’s volunteer consultants’ annual contribution of over 23,000 hours of time and expertise, coupled with the generous financial support of ESC’s foundation, corporate and individual donors.
Working with ESC, more than 150 nonprofits and public agencies every year improve their operations, develop their leadership and build stronger futures.
In doing so, they are better equipped to provide the best in programs and services for the more than 900,000 Chicago area residents that depend on them every year.
