 Tomorrow is GivingTuesday, a global movement unleashing the power of people to radically transform our communities through generosity. You can demonstrate your power in a variety of ways on GivingTuesday — help a neighbor, advocate for an issue, share a skill, or give to a cause. Everyone has something to give and every act of generosity makes a change.
More and more older South Siders rely on the services, support, and socialization of Chicago Hyde Park Village to age healthfully in community. Nearly half of CHPV’s revenue depends on individual gifts like yours. With your help, CHPV can grow its ability to support the needs of our aging population.
Your donation today will be matched by a $25,000 Challenge Grant from the Elizabeth Louise Smith Fund. Please give generously to help us meet our goal and expand our services, enriching the lives of older adults, families, and the community. Please help CHPV close our 10th anniversary year strong by donating today. With your gift, you’re making a difference!

 With many thanks,
Lucas Livingston, Executive Director
