Make a Difference Before the Year Ends

There’s still time to give! Donate by Dec. 31, 2024 to benefit from 2024 tax deductions

The holiday season is a wonderful time to reflect on the impact we make together through the work of the Beacon Hill Foundation. Your giving this time of year is more than a gesture of goodwill—it’s a chance to make a lasting difference in our community while also benefiting from valuable tax savings.

Gifts from our Beacon Hill residents, family members, and friends support essential programs and care that nurture the body, mind, and spirit of our senior community.

Your generosity helps fund initiatives like chaplaincy, benevolent care, spiritual support, education, arts programs, and campus enhancements—each enriching the lives of our residents by fostering growth, connection, and joy.

Here’s how you can help before the year ends:

  • Russell and Dorothy Watkins Chaplaincy Fund: Your gift ensures that our chaplains are available to provide robust programming, along with guidance, comfort, and hope to residents and their families.
  • Benevolent Care: Unexpected hardships shouldn’t threaten anyone’s sense of financial security. Contributions to benevolent care ensure all residents can continue to thrive in our community.
  • Celebrating the Arts: Donations fund programs that spark creativity and lifelong learning, boosting cognitive and emotional well-being.
  • Employee Scholarship Fund: Through scholarships granted by the Foundation, employees are able to further their education and pursue their passion, all while bringing their new knowledge back to Beacon Hill.
  • Campus Enhancements: Your support helps maintain and improve spaces where seniors can live vibrantly in comfort and safety.
