CBOT Foundation
CBOT Foundation

The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Foundation is continuing with its mission following the merger of CBOT and CME in 2007 to form CME Group. The foundation provides a valuable service to a number of not-for-profit agencies serving the Chicagoland area. The CBOT Foundation Committee, which is comprised of Chicago Board of Trade members, selects organizations to receive funding annually. To be eligible to receive funding from the CBOT Foundation, your organization must:

  • Be administered in and dedicated to the benefit of the Chicago area
  • Be non-discriminatory in its practices
  • Be a charitable organization exempt from federal income taxation as a Section 501 (c), (3), (4), or (10) organization
  • Not be one that contributes funds to ancillary organizations

    Please use our CBOT Foundation Grant Application Form to apply for funding.
