Support the Foundation

Any donation amount is always greatly appreciated. New donations are essential to continue to support our seniors in need and to provide the services and programs at Dickinson Hall. Donations may be given in honor or in memory of someone special.

Donors who contribute $1,000 or more may have their name or the name of an honoree engraved on the Giving Tree in the Dickinson Hall lobby.

The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity and, as such, gifts are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Make a Donation

For more information about ways to give, please contact Andrea Minogue, Foundation Administrator, at 847-810-4675, or use the Contact Form. We are grateful for your consideration.

If you plan to give at the $500 level or greater, please consider mailing a check rather than donating by credit card through this website. By doing so, you enable the Foundation to gain the full benefit of your generous donation without a credit card processing fee.

Your credit card information will not be stored. The transmission between the donor, the donation form (Donorbox), and the credit card processor (Stripe) is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS. Stripe is one of the most secure and trusted payment providers in the industry.
