The Chrysalis Roots Fund

We’re putting down roots! Buying a building is a dream come true, and we’re looking to our supporters to help us tackle three key objectives to make this space—and our mission—stronger than ever.

Dani Rischall

Remodeling our commercial kitchen to share healthy meals and build community.

Ensuring health insurance status never stands in the way of support.

Upgrading our building to create a safer, more accessible space for all.


Support Chrysalis Programs

At Chrysalis, your contributions are hard at work!

Every contribution, big or small, helps us nurture a stronger, more vibrant community. Take pride in knowing that your generosity directly creates opportunities that uplift individual lives and make our world a better place to live and work.  

Chrysalis deeply values one-time commitments to our mission, yet our ultimate aim is to cultivate enduring partnerships that extend into the future through creative, mission-aligned collaborations. These partnerships can encompass more than just financial contributions, potentially including:

  • Donations of gift cards for our community-based services (Vocational Peer Support, Wings CSC, and IPS Supported Employment)
  • Promote our Employer Partnerships to connect participants with job positions in their chosen fields
  • Recurring sponsorships for our annual Shared Threads event
  • Community networking opportunities
  • Innovative events, programming, and funding initiatives
  • Among endless other possibilities…

At this moment, our community is at risk of losing crucial federal funding through Medicaid. Now more than ever,  your kindness can directly fuel meaningful work opportunities that foster hope, healing, and wellness for those that we serve.
