Even as our philanthropic footprint expands around the world, our strong commitment to Chicago, home of our global headquarters, remains.

In 1893, Northern Trust's founder Byron Smith seeded a relief fund for victims of a devastating fire that broke out at the World's Fair. It was an early display of Northern Trust's commitment to the communities where we live and work. Today, The Northern Trust Foundation carries that legacy forward in Chicago.		Contributions Chicago
