Support the Foundation
Any donation amount is always greatly appreciated. Donations are essential to continue to support our seniors in need and to provide the services and programs at Dickinson Hall. Each gift—no matter the size—helps us support vital services and enhance the lives of older adults in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff.
There are many ways to contribute:

Giving Later - Leave a Legacy That Lasts
A planned gift to the Foundation is a simple and powerful way to create a lasting impact in your community. In many cases, it can even allow you to make a larger gift than you thought possible—without affecting your finances today.
Name the Foundation as a beneficiary of your will, trust, or retirement plan
Use life insurance by naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of your policy
Designate other assets, such as investment accounts or bank accounts
We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor or estate planning professional to explore options that align with your tax and legacy planning.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity and, as such, gifts are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
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.
