This appropriation represents state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.
Founded in 1911, Infant Welfare Society of Chicago states that its mission is: “To provide a continuum of integrated, quality, and preventive health care services to children and their families, enabling them to lead healthy and productive lives.”

In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $8,706,380 in total revenue. Of that, $699,741 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 8% of total revenue.
The nonprofit listed $2,344,180 in contributions overall. It also reported $50 in non-cash contributions, such as donated goods or services, and $1,644,440 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.
At the beginning of 2024, Infant Welfare Society of Chicago had $15,082,300 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $14,131,200, indicating a 6.3% decline in overall holdings.
According to its filing, public funding to Infant Welfare Society of Chicago declined in the last year, falling from $1,001,600 in 2023 to $699,741 in 2024—a decrease of 30.1% year-over-year.
However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
Infant Welfare Society of Chicago is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
