CPS wants to promote and maintain partnerships between the district, corporate partners, business members and vendors. We encourage all members of the community to:
Become a corporate, individual or school partner
Our partners enjoy the positive connections to students and communities they develop as a result of their efforts. Many organizations also mention an increase in team spirit, loyalty, and morale as individuals come together to help Chicago Public School children. Our city’s health is closely connected to productive citizens and a quality workforce. Futures Exchange partners can be proud of their contributions to our children and our city’s future. For more information about becoming a CPS partner, contact the Department of External Partnerships and Relationships via telephone at (773) 553-1540 or email at futures-exchange@cps.k12.il.us.
Become a vendor partner
CPS has numerous opportunities for businesses to provide a wide range of goods and technical and consulting services.
Any qualified individual or business who has a product or service to sell can become a supplier for the Chicago Public Schools.
For more information about becoming a vendor partner, visit the CPS Purchasing website 
or call the CPS Department of Procurement and Contracts at (773) 553-2280.
