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!
