Give the gift of Hope this holiday season.
This holiday season, consider making an investment in the future of Chicago by making a donation to Hope Chicago.

Your contribution will help expand debt-free higher education access for multiple generations of South and West Side families.
End of Year Charitable Gifts
As the year comes to a close, we invite you to maximize your impact on the families and communities by considering a tax-wise gift to Hope Chicago. Non-cash giving options can offer significant benefits for you while providing life-changing opportunities for two generations of Chicago families.
Here are three ways you can make a big difference today:
1️⃣ IRA Charitable Rollover: If you’re 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to Hope Chicago. Your gift counts toward your required minimum distribution and offset income taxes.
2️⃣ Gifts of Appreciated Stock: Donating stock that has grown in value allows you to offset capital gains taxes while supporting our mission.
3️⃣ Donor-Advised Fund Grants: Recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund to support Hope Chicago before December 31.
These creative giving options can help you achieve your philanthropic and financial goals while paving the way for brighter futures in our community. Act now to make your gift count for 2024. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact us at givehope@hopechicago.org or 312-374-3697.
