Welcome · Giving to LYDIA Most LYDIA programs are supported entirely by private donations. That’s why your financial partnership is so vital! It ensures our continued success in helping children and adults overcome difficult circumstances. Together, we can strengthen families and give people hope for the future!

If you would like to make a donation, one convenient option is to do so online through our secure one-time donation page. You also can sign up for automatic monthly donations, which authorizes that gifts be made from your checking account via electronic transfer on a day of the month you specify.

If you prefer to give by mail, simply send your gift to LYDIA at 4300 W. Irving Park Road, Chicago, IL  60641.

Many other giving options exist, including:

• Donating by phone using your credit card;
• Making a gift of appreciated stock or real estate;
• Giving to LYDIA's Loved Ones Memorial, which is designed to honor special people in your life;
• Asking your employer to match your gift to LYDIA;
• Donating your used car;
• And adding LYDIA to your estate plan.

To learn more about your giving options and other specific areas of need, please contact Sylvia Ortiz, Office Manager and Development Associate, at 773-653-2223. And be sure to check out our wish list, which includes a number of items that can benefit children in our Residential Treatment facility.
 
However you choose to give, you can be confident that your donation will be used to invest in people whose lives can be transformed through an encounter with LYDIA. Thank you for your generosity!
