A Note About Using 3rd Party Websites
The internet is awash with 3rd party websites that collect donations on behalf of nonprofits.  In some cases, they can collect these donations without telling us — so please beware!  They often take months to reach us and sometimes include significant processing fees.  The best place to give to CAPE is right here on our own site.  If you do use a 3rd party website, please kindly send an email to info@capechicago.org to alert us to your donation so we can track it down and extend our thanks right away!
