Our Mission is Community

Navy Pier is the People’s Pier, Chicago’s lakefront treasure, welcoming all and offering dynamic and eclectic experiences through partnerships and programs that inspire discovery and wonder.

Since it’s reopening in 1995, Navy Pier has been an integral part of Chicago culture. As a nonprofit who gives back to the community, your support makes you a steward of our over 100-year history, helping us maintain the Pier for generations to come.

Support the Pier

Since our nonprofit establishment in 2011, Navy Pier has been a mission-driven organization continually working toward providing a higher level of community impact and accessibility.
