EXCLUSIVE CONNECTIONS, MEANINGFUL IMPACT
About
Colour Me Social Foundation blends philanthropy with celebration, guiding CMS members on meaningful giving journeys. Through signature fundraising events, we support charities and raise awareness of social issues in Chicago. Beyond fundraising, we curate social experiences that inspire generosity, fostering connections and impact. These gatherings provide opportunities to connect, contribute, and make an impact—all while embracing the joy of philanthropy.
Colour Impact Grant
Additionally, through our Colour Impact Grant, awarded four times a year, we provide direct support to organizations making a difference in our communities. At our core, we believe giving should be both fulfilling and purposeful, balancing impact with joy. Through our events, grants, and social initiatives, we remind our contributors that philanthropy is a balance of purpose and celebration.

Celebrate
"Community Cultivators"
In our sixth year producing the CMS Merit Gala, Colour Me Social presents the 2025 CMS Merit Gala: Honoring Community Cultivators. This year, we will honor those who seek to create, preserve, protect and uplift our community with efforts and/or programming focused on love and oneness. With so many divisive narratives and spaces in society, we would like to celebrate those who choose to cultivate loving spaces that highlight the power of community, and the importance of leading with love.
