We're 70% of the way there!

Dear EdgewaterRogersPark,


Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve already raised $55,780 toward our $80,000 end-of-year goal! We’re already 70% of the way there! With your help, we can cross the finish line together before the year ends.

This year, you helped make the DANK Haus a place of connection, learning, and celebration: families exploring our galleries, students discovering German language and culture, neighbors sharing a drink at Stammtisch and Neighborhood Nights, and so much more. Every laugh, every memory, every moment of curiosity and inspiration happens because of our community members like you.


There’s still work to do. Your donation ensures that next year, the DANK Haus continues to offer programs that educate, delight, and bring our community together, while preserving our historic building and German American heritage and language.

Did you know over 35-40% of the DANK Haus annual fundraising comes in during end of year giving?


Can we count on you to help us get there before the year's end?


Easily find us on Donor Advise Fund portals such as DAF Direct.
