One Move to Change the Community

Purchasing and Building on the lot at 1561 W. Howard Street (Chicago, IL)

C24/7 has grown quickly. From our grassroots origins, we now stand at a crossroads of great need and even greater opportunity. Our programs have wait-lists because we do not have the space to admit more children and job-seekers. Our neighborhood has as many struggles as it has ever had. Our constituents have taken the first steps toward empowerment, but need much more support.

Our belief in a God of parent-like love compels us to take the next step as an organization and more fully reach, serve, and empower the North of Howard community of Rogers Park. Building a new home will allow us to do exactly that. The opportunity exists for profound, long-lasting improvement in the structures, systems, and people of our community. We believe by increasing our space, presence in the community, and collaboration with partners through the purchase of a new building we can help bring the improvement our community is desperately looking for.

OTHER WAYS TO DONATE:

- Gifts of Appreciated Assets: Donors can simply transfer assets such as stock, land, or other property to C24/7, which avoids capital gains tax and offers an income tax charitable deduction.

- Qualified charitable distribution: A great option for any donor aged 70 1/2 or older. Distributing money from a qualified retirement account directly to C24/7 avoids the taxations typically associated with distributions, while also leaving a gift to a great cause!

- Donor Advised Funds and Family Foundations: If you or someone you know already have a Charitable Giving Fund and/or Family Foundation set up, you can choose C24/7 as a recipient of funds. Typically this is as easy as providing our EIN number, which is 81-3116501.

If you're interested in exploring or learning more about any of these planned giving methods to support C24/7, please contact our Director of Development, Jordan Harper, at 312.866.5878.
