Proper Giving

Every closing makes a difference.

Proper Giving is Proper Title's charitable arm — a 501(c)(3) organization that partners with local philanthropic groups dedicated to assisting those in need. Our goal is to provide financial assistance and promote awareness about these communities through volunteer opportunities.

After each transaction, Proper Title makes a donation to the Proper Giving foundation. So your closing matters — your business helped raise $80,000 last year.

Our Mission

Turning closings into community impact.

Proper Giving channels a portion of every Proper Title transaction into 501(c)(3) partners working on the ground in the neighborhoods we serve — funding meals, shelter, medical care, and opportunity for families across Chicagoland.

How Proper Giving works

A foundation funded by every closing.

Every Closing Counts

After each Proper Title transaction, we make a contribution to the Proper Giving foundation — turning everyday closings into lasting community impact.

Local Philanthropic Partners

Proper Giving partners with 501(c)(3) organizations dedicated to assisting those in need across the communities we serve.

A Culture of Service

Philanthropy is integrated into the Proper Title culture — our employees pursue volunteer activities both with the company and through their own initiatives.

Building homes, building hope.

Each year, members of the Proper Title team trade closing tables for tool belts to join Habitat for Humanity build days alongside our local partners. Together we frame walls, raise roofs, and help families across Chicagoland step into homes of their own.

It's one of the many ways Proper Giving turns the work we do every day at the closing table into a tangible difference in the neighborhoods we serve.

A Commitment to Service & Community

Philanthropy, integrated into our culture.

Many of our employees pursue volunteer activities both as a part of our company and through their own initiatives — from check signings and fundraisers to hands-on builds and family events with our partner organizations.

"Commitment to our community is integrated into the Proper Title culture. Lurie's does amazing work for so many children and families in the Chicago area and beyond, and we are honored to be able to contribute to their mission through this donation."
