Good Chaos is a new Chicago-based family office spun out of Builders Vision, a broader impact platform. With a geographic focus on Chicago and rural places across 12 Midwestern states, our team works across philanthropic grantmaking, impact investing, and narrative shift work. Over the past 4 years, we have dedicated our resources to artists, creatives and culture bearers, mothers and caretakers, underestimated entrepreneurs, and farmed animals.
