Hill House's 2024-2025 Annual Appeal 

For more than 50 years, families like yours have turned to Hill House to join their neighbors and friends in exploring different recreational activities for children of all ages. Every day, we are lucky enough to watch the kids that come through our doors learn to walk, speak, score their first goal, play a new instrument, and more. We do this with one goal in mind, to be “your backyard in the city.”

This year, we hope you will join us in supporting our staff to continue developing programs that build the foundation of a successful future for your child. It is through your support that we are able to retain instructors and coaches that are passionate about nurturing the imaginations and skills of the children in our programs. As we expand into different areas of interest and build on the curriculum of existing programs, the need for support from our community has grown. As program fees only account for about 80% of our annual operating budget, we rely on donations for the remaining 20% from community members like you. 

Overall, program development means actively listening and responding to meet the needs of our community members while building upon the existing programs you love. In the last few months alone, we have added more ninja warrior classes, expanded our girls’ athletics programs, introduced a new parent support group, and more based off feedback from all of you! To us here at Hill House, program development is a commitment to fostering an environment for you and your neighbors to explore your interests in a place that promotes inclusiveness, community, and fun.

Please consider supporting our Annual Appeal this year by either returning the enclosed donation form or donating online at hillhouseboston.org/donate. We hope to raise a total of $150,000 by the end of our fiscal year, your gift would be a critical part of helping us reach our goal.

We want to take this time to thank you for trusting us with the time and resources to invest in the skill building of all the future ninja warriors, musicians, artists, athletes, scientists, and more. Your donation is critical in allowing us to invest in the programs you love and expand into the programs you’re looking for!

Sincerely,

The Hill House Team
