About Chicago Men’s Center

The Chicago Men’s Center, Inc is a nonprofit created by MKP Chicago leaders to hold and steward assets for the local community. CMC’s role is simple and steady. Protect capital, fund the work of bringing men into healthy circles, remove financial barriers to the New Warrior Training Adventure, and prepare for the day when a new community home is possible.

What CMC funds today

CMC funds practical needs that keep the Chicago community moving. We paid for the materials trailer and several items requested by the Chicago Area Council. We created and maintain a Scholarship Fund for men who cannot afford the full cost of an NWTA. Since 2022, scholarship awards total thirty-five thousand dollars.

When funds began flowing out without local fundraising to replace them, we asked the Chicago Area Council to raise money to offset scholarship disbursements. The goal is clear. Keep scholarships healthy now, and position the community to purchase another home in the future.

Donate

CMC created a single, easy donation link: CMC Donations. The form includes drop-down options so you can direct your gift to what matters most to you. You can support a specific NWTA, underwrite new Facebook ads that bring men into Open Men’s Groups and then toward an NWTA, or make a general donation. Every dollar supports the MKP Chicago community.

Invitation to individuals and I-Groups. Please consider giving at a level that fits your situation. One example, the I-Group A Brotherhood of Kings chose to give twenty-five dollars per day for seven days to fund the new Facebook ads. Choose the option that matches your heart and your means.

FAQ

Rather than offering direct programming ourselves, we:

Is the Chicago Men’s Center part of MKP USA?

The Chicago Men’s Center (CMC) was created by MKP Chicago as a separate nonprofit to steward local assets and support the MKP Chicago community.

Why was the Fulton Market building sold?

The pandemic caused major loss of rental income. The community decided to sell in 2021, paid off the mortgage, and moved proceeds into conservative investments.

How are CMC funds invested?

Funds are invested conservatively across market instruments and CDs to protect principal, fund scholarships and program needs, and work toward a future community home.

Can I earmark my donation?

Yes. You can designate gifts for NWTA Scholarships, Facebook outreach that brings men into Open Men’s Groups, or General Support. Use the dropdown on the donation page or note your preference.
