SidleyGives
Community engagement is central to Sidley’s culture. It reflects who we are and what it means to work here, reminding us that our impact reaches far beyond the practice of law. Through SidleyGives, the firm’s social responsibility program, we are dedicated to supporting communities through local nonprofit partnerships. This program affords our lawyers and business professionals the opportunity to contribute their time and talent toward the public good, expanding the ways we support others and shaping how we choose to lead.
“Sidley has long been devoted to supporting our communities through forward-looking initiatives that reflect our shared dedication to fostering a culture of civic responsibility.”
– Yvette Ostolaza, Management Committee Chair

Partnerships That Drive Social Change
Each of our offices maintains longstanding local nonprofit partnerships, providing our people with a variety of ways to make an impact through volunteerism and leadership opportunities.
KABOOM! U.S. Playground Build Initiative
Inspired by the opportunity to support children and local communities, Sidley has partnered with nonprofit KABOOM! to donate and build new play spaces across the United States. Recent builds include new playgrounds in Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco. Designed by the children themselves, these playgrounds reflect the creativity of young minds and help ensure that every child has a safe place to play regardless of background or where they live.
