Since the first bungalows were built in the early 1900s, the Chicago bungalows have been a source of pride for bungalow owners and the city of Chicago. The Historic Chicago Bungalow Association (HCBA) is a non-profit organization that was created to foster an appreciation of the Chicago Bungalow as a distinctive housing type, encourage sympathetic rehabilitation of Chicago bungalows, and assist bungalow owners with making their homes more energy efficient and adapting their homes to current needs, which in turn helps to strengthen Chicago bungalow neighborhoods. The Association offers a variety of financial resources, including grants for energy efficiency improvements, and technical resources, from "how-to" seminars to architectural guidelines for common bungalow rehab projects. Certifying a bungalow with the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association is the first step in accessing these financial incentives and benefits.

The United Way system includes nearly 1,350 community-based United Way organizations. Each is independent, separately incorporated and governed by local volunteers. The United Way believes that the best way to help the most people is to focus on the root causes of a community's most serious problems and that it takes the whole community working together to pull it off. The organization brings together people from all across the community, from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, the labor movement and ordinary citizens, to tackle the issues that matter most. If it requires fundraising, going to City Hall, or just getting people to work together, that's where the United Way helps. The organization is focused on the results of the lives it changes and the communities it helps to shape. The United Way has a branch located in Chicago, where it is staffed by nearly 100 people.
