How to Give

Generous contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations make it possible for CHAI to provide the ongoing exceptional programs and services that touch the lives of adults with intellectual disabilities, and their families, each and every day.

Contributions also allow us to meet pressing needs that may exceed our operating budget and respond to issues and opportunities that will enhance the lives of our clients as they strive to reach their full potential.

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

These funds provide support services for clients that live in the community, residential options in small group homes in a Jewish home-like environment, and long-term support and supervision. We work hard every day to see a smile, watch a client go to work, celebrate a success, cook a meal, prepare for Shabbat, or learn to play an instrument.

We need your support to make all these achievements become a reality.

ENDOWMENT AND PLANNED GIVING

At CHAI we take care of our clients for all of their adult life, as long as our services meet their needs. Building our Community Homes for Adults Endowment Foundation (CHAEF), and securing planned gifts to provide long-term funding, will allow us to ease the emotional and financial pressure for families who need our help to care for their loved one with disabilities. Some of our clients have no remaining family members and have no other funds available to pay the cost of their care, so the financial responsibility is covered completely by CHAI.

CHAI is proud to be a partner agency of The Dallas Jewish Community Foundation’s Create a Jewish Legacy program. Please consider including CHAEF in your estate planning. For more information about planned giving, please contact your financial advisor or contact Patsy Goodman, Director of Development, at pgoodman@chaidallas.org or call 214-888-4909 to begin a conversation.

DONATIONS IN-KIND

Donations of goods and services are greatly appreciated and help us reduce expenses or provide extra programs and services not included in our budget. We maintain a “Wish List” of desired items, so please contact Patsy Goodman, Director of Development, at pgoodman@chaidallas.org or call 214-888-4909 to discuss items or services that you wish to donate.

Grant CHAI-Light

We are grateful for our long-standing partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas that began even before CHAI’s founding in 1983. The Federation’s Planning Committee provided guidance and leadership to the founders of our organization and the partnership continues today.

In addition to the Federation’s annual allocation that supports our general operating funds, we have been fortunate over the past few years to receive both Long-Term and Short-Term grants to strengthen our services. This community support has helped us provide added safety and security for our residents and clients.

The Federation’s continued support of our Nursing Services department has been vital to our ability to keep our residents safe and healthy during the pandemic. With this grant we have contracted with 24/7 Telehealth Services which has provided us our case nurse, Megan Hinds RN.  Megan (and her team) work side by side with CHAI to help with annual assessments, day to day needs, medication reviews, and all client care.  24/7 Telehealth Services has also provided us around the clock on call access to a RN to triage client needs and assist in coordinating care.
