Over the past two years, Community Currency has spearheaded the nonprofit branch of Northwestern University's entrepreneurship accelerator, received $20,000 in its first seed funding round, and was selected to participate in multiple innovation conferences. Community Currency has established a charitable partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago and successfully piloted its fundraising strategy within Northwestern and Loyola University travel abroad programs. Our goal is to collect 0.1% of the $86.6 million in foreign currency passing through Chicago O’Hare Airport every year to fund summer camps for 5,000+ students.

Community Currency is intentionally placed in the unique position to translate global connectivity into community-based social impact. We empower travelers to convert their experiences abroad into meaningful impact at home. Every day we are developing our community focus, simple strategy, and passionate leadership to continue growing at a rapid pace.
