Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community



		Your Gifts
		Giving Opportunities Charitable giving is one way we, as individuals and organizations, express our values. It is how we translate our passions into actions. For this reason, Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community (MMRC) has a wide range of giving opportunities for donors to consider. At this time the greatest need is for the Assisted Living Project, however there is a variety of other needs that can be considered by donors. There are additional special needs that can be funded by persons with interest in special projects.” The Greatest Need We are pursuing fundraising by increasing awareness of the need for contributions to the Assisted Living project. We are raising funds to be used for the purchase of furnishings and equipment, as well as other startup costs associated with marketing, hiring and orienting staff. It is our goal to raise $1,500,000.00. We are asking individuals, businesses, and churches to make generous donations to help reach our goal and to make this project become a reality. There are several ways to make a gift. Cash gifts are always appreciated. You can make a gift by writing a check, using a credit card, or giving online. Our website address is www.meadowshome.org . Other gifts may include securities, bonds and other instruments that can be easily converted to cash. Gifts can be immediate or deferred. Deferred gifts are often made though bequests, trusts and insurance policies. For those interested in making a gift of appreciated property, a Charitable Remainder Unitrust or Annuity Trust is often advantageous. If you are interested in receiving more information about any of these options please contact us. You can make a charitable commitment over a one to two year period to help us meet our goal. We are accepting pledge payments with options of 1 year and 2 year pledges that can be paid monthly, quarterly or annually. Pledge forms are available upon request. There are naming opportunities for specific area of the Assisted Living facility. These include: Assisted Living Project Sponsorship and Naming Opportunities: Building $2,000,000 Furnishings & Technology $1,000,000 Commons Area $785,000 Dining Room $535,000 Private Dining Room $157,000 Library $105,000 Arts & Crafts Room $102,000 Spa $82,000 Chapel (in later phase) $63,000

		The success of this fundraising effort depends on everyone’s support. We need gifts, both large and modest; from $100,000 or more dollars to a few hundred dollars. We sincerely thank our donors for past support. We ask for continued prayer, volunteer and financial support as we move forward with this project. Additional needs include: Carpeting Project – Carpeting throughout Meadows Home. Chaplaincy Fund – for the support of the Chaplaincy Program. Computerized Charting Project – Computerized charting provides required documentation for Medicare and Medicaid. The use of computerized charting requires less professional staff time for charting, allowing increased time for interacting with residents and for providing their care. Dining Rom Expansion – We are adding square footage to the dining room at Stations 1 and 2. This will provide room that will allow residents to not feel so crowded while they eat on Station 1. It will provide a private dining room on Station 2 for use by families and small group meetings. Nursing Home Fund – for the operating budget and for a variety of special projects. Nursing Home Resident Assistance Fund – helps to close the gap between the actual costs of resident care and the amount of payment received from the State of Illinois for Medicaid recipients. Residential and Grounds – provides for operational needs and for planting of trees, bushes, plants and flowers. CONTACT DEVELOPMENT
