Our mission is to provide a home that supports our residents’ efforts to maximize their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional abilities so that they can attain their highest level of independence in an environment where people are treated with dignity and respect.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s director of development and/or Executive Director.
In May 2022, Dr. Kirk Gilbert was appointed to Hillside’s Board of Directors. His wife, Pamela, currently chairs Hillside’s Event Committee. They both support Hillside’s mission to ensure residents have all that they need in order to maximize their abilities and independence. Pamela commented, “We love Hillside! The staff are incredibly committed to the well-being of the residents who have made their home at Hillside.
Making it Easier for You to Give…
Hillside residents live far below the poverty level. In order to help them live their fullest lives, Hillside needs to raise in excess of $800,000 a year to provide them with a variety of critically important therapies, programs, and services. Here are some of the ways you can help:
•Become a “Hillside Hero” – By donating a specific amount monthly to Hillside through an “auto pay” transfer from your bank account or credit card, or by sending in a check or cash, you can provide steady support for the ongoing work of Hillside.
•Will or Trust – Hillside has partnered with FreeWill, an online estate planning tool that makes it easy to create your own plan, at no cost to you! Please consider designating a percentage or fixed amount from your estate to Hillside.
•Donor Advised Funds – Talk to your financial advisor or accountant to create a DAF.
•Qualified Charitable Distributions – This is a tax-advantaged way for those 70.5 years or older to contribute funds to Hillside directly from their IRA. These donations help you meet your annual Required Minimum Distributions (RMD’s), and can be excluded from your taxable income!
