It takes a community to keep ours thriving.
Chicago Methodist Senior Services is able to provide our services and residences to the community in large part thanks to donations from our generous supporters. Your gift helps to make our work possible.
Throughout the ongoing pandemic, CMSS faced many hurdles but they have been no match for the resilience, creativity, and hope we have embodied this year. We have not only survived, we have thrived. Learn more about our recent accomplishments and our vision to become the gold standard in empathetic, safe, and innovative memory care services in our 2021 Impact Report.
We ask that you partner with us to sustain our critical work and to make our new vision flourish.
Together, we can help Chicago’s older adults to live and feel well. Make a tax-deductible donation today. Thank you for your support!

Other Options
Individual Retirement Accounts
Currently law permits those who are 70½ years of age and older to make a gift of up to $100,000 from a Traditional IRA directly to a qualified charity. This provides tax benefits for both you and the charity. For more details, please consult your financial advisor.
Stocks
If you choose to transfer appreciated marketable stocks or mutual fund shares directly to us, there may be tax advantages to you. If the securities have decreased in value since you acquired them, it may be more beneficial for you to sell them, report the capital loss deduction and donate the proceeds.
