Dear Friends,

For more than a decade, Chicago Hyde Park Village has been rewriting the story of aging. With your support, we’re proving that growing older can mean growing closer. Membership fees cover only about 20% of CHPV’s annual revenue. The rest depends on the generosity of people like youThanks to your support, CHPV continues to nurture a caring and connected community where older adults can live independently, stay engaged, and thrive at home in the neighborhoods they love. 

In the past year alone, CHPV members participated in nearly 500 events focused on learning, wellness, social connection, and mutual support. Your contributions made this possible—helping 108 volunteers provide more than 4,300 hours of service, a 41% increase from the year before. Together, we’ve strengthened our network of neighbors helping neighbors through:
  • 267 rides to medical appointments and events (a 28% increase)
  • 776 visits to 30 socially isolated older adults
  • 12 monthly Memory Café events providing 97 person-hours of engagement for those living with dementia and their caregivers
  • 46 volunteers serving Thanksgiving meals to more than 70 older adults, both delivered and shared in community
Please help CHPV continue these valuable services and community connections by donating today. With your support, you’re making a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

How will you support CHPV?

Your unrestricted donation to our 2025 Fall Campaign allows CHPV to use your generous gift where it is most needed.

MORE WAYS TO GIVE


IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

IRA owners age 70½ or over can transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year. Known as qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), these transfers offer eligible older Americans a great way to easily give to charity before the end of the year regardless of whether you itemizes your deductions. And, for those who are at least 73 years old, QCDs count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Normally, distributions from a traditional IRA are taxable when received. With a QCD, however, these distributions become tax-free as long as they're paid directly from the IRA to an eligible charitable organization. Learn more from the IRS and contact your IRA trustee to make a QCD to Chicago Hyde Park Village.
