Our Story
Giving Love. Spreading Hope.
Giving Love Network began with a simple act of empathy from a 6-year-old girl named Caroline Dickinson. In 2015, deeply moved by the people she saw living on the streets of Chicago—under viaducts, on Lower Wacker Drive, and in cold, unforgiving corners of the city—Caroline felt compelled to help. She didn’t just ask questions. She took action.

Focus Areas
At Giving Love Network, our work is guided by three core commitments that shape everything we do—from the way we serve to the impact we strive to create.
Lifting Up Local Leaders
We believe in lifting up the small & medium size nonprofit organizations already doing the hard work on the front lines. By providing financial grants, product donations, and fundraising support, we empower trusted community nonprofits so they can serve those in need.
Serving with Compassion
Every initiative we lead—from food drives to seasonal coat collections—is rooted in empathy. We go beyond providing resources; we strive to create meaningful, respectful connections that remind every individual they are seen, valued, and worthy of hope.
Giving Love
Our work begins where the needs are greatest. Whether it's supporting shelters, food banks, or outreach programs, Giving Love Network ensures love shows up—in every donation, in every partnership, and in every act of kindness.
