River Bank Lofts was one of the earliest loft condominium conversions in the area. Built
nearly a century ago along the North Branch of the Chicago River, the original brick and timber structure served for decades
as a freight terminal and then as a printing facility before being redeveloped as a residential property in 1995. Since then,
the neighborhood has seen tremendous growth, but the combination of a choice riverfront location, beautiful turn-of-the-century
architecture, convenient and desirable River North address, excellent amenities and terrific views make this building unique.

The Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy® is a 501-c-3 non-profit organization
based in Washington, DC. It is a coalition—an organization of organizations that share an interest in advancing
financial literacy among students in pre-kindergarten through college. Today, Jump$tart is a partnership of about 150
national organizations and entities from the corporate, non-profit, academic, government and other sectors. Many of
these coalition partners are “household names.” Generally, these partner organizations conduct and/or support
financial education or offer financial education tools and materials for youth and others.
In addition to the national
coalition, Jump$tart consists of a network of 49 affiliated state coalitions and their local partners. Each state coalition
is an independently governed and operated non-profit organization with its own leadership and bylaws, united with the national
Jump$tart Coalition through an affiliation agreement and a desire to advance Jump$tart’s mission of financial smarts
for students, locally. Most of Jump$tart’s state coalitions use the Jump$tart name and brand, although a few do
not. Jump$tart is proud that its state coalitions are operated almost exclusively by volunteers (a few of the state
coalitions have a single paid employee or contract administrator). Visit ILJ$ online. Other Affilliations
