Student Experience

Noble Family Support Fund

We created the Noble Family Support Fund (NFSF) during the early days of the pandemic to provide material and fi nancial support to the communities we serve. We recognized early on that great remote instruction alone would not be enough. Since Spring of 2020, the NFSF has disbursed approximately $1,000,000 to 800 families to help cover expenses such as rent, utilities, food, and clothing. As this pandemic continues to disproportionately aff ect the communities we serve, we will work to support them.

The success of the NFSF would not have been possible without the support of our active and generous network who came together to aid our families. Companies like Illinois Tool Works (ITW) and DRW developed donor-matching campaigns which resulted in more than 150 employee donations. Through this collective eff ort, ITW and DRW employees raised nearly $200,000 for the Fund. We are incredibly grateful to every person who supported our communities in such an impactful way.
