All of our events are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. We suggest a tax-deductible donation of $10-20 per attendee for those who are able. Your donations help us cover the costs of hiring speakers, pay for our website, cover our annual tax & paperwork filings, buy supplies, and otherwise compensate for the myriad of expenses that small nonprofits accrue. Our staff is entirely volunteer. You can learn more about our mission here!

  • ​By RSVPing for, and participating in, any Chicago for Chicagoans event, you waive your right to hold Chicago for Chicagoans liable for any injuries sustained, and agree to be photographed. Read our liability & photography statements here.
  • ​We vet, train, and affirm that each one of our speakers is qualified to lecture and speak accurately to the history of the topic they are selected for. We do not micro-manage our speakers' content or provide scripts. The research and any opinions our speakers present are purely their own. Our organization is an apolitical, neutral party that connects qualified local historians to people who want to hear them speak. ​
  • Tours can involve up to 3 miles of walking, and may prove difficult for those with limited mobility or mobility issues. While we stay primarily on paved paths and sidewalks, these routes may still include potholes and uneven surfaces. Please get in touch if you would like to arrange a special or self-guided tour adjusted for your mobility, or would like to simply grab a coffee and chat about the neighborhood. We do our best to help everyone, regardless of ability, learn about their city.
