Empowering Neighbourhood. Supporting Local Business. One Voucher at a Time.

The Chi Exchange

The Chi Exchange is a community-centred economic initiative that keeps dollars flowing through our Neighborhood by connecting residents to local businesses using digital and physical vouchers.

What Is The Chi Exchange?

The Chi Exchange is a bold, community driven economic initiative powered by Operation Success, designed to revitalize historically underserved neighborhood across Chicago. Through a unique voucher based system, The Chi Exchange empowers local residents with spending power while supporting small businesses by driving foot traffic and increasing revenue.

By bridging the gap between economic need and opportunity, The Chi Exchange fosters a cycle of local investment, ownership, and sustainability, ultimately creating a thriving, inclusive economy for all.
