What is the Genderson Fund?
The Jon Genderson Memorial Fund (formerly the Rogers Fund*) helps ensure that any resident of Capitol Hill can join, participate and benefit from Capitol Hill Village without regard to income.
While CHV does our best to contribute to the well-being of all older adults in the CHV footprint, there is so much more to be gained for CHV and for individuals when individuals join as members. CHV benefits from the experience, interests, passions, and volunteer contributions members bring; Individuals benefit from the connection, engagement, and full range of supports the Village has to offer. It’s a win-win, which is only possible through the Genderson Fund.
What Does the Genderson Fund Support?
Your donations subsidize membership dues for older adults on Capitol Hill who face financial hardship and provide resources for members who cannot afford something needed for health and safety.
*Started in 2008, the The Steven C. Rogers Memorial Fund was named after a founding member of CHV who championed access to the Village for all. The Fund was renamed in 2019 for Jon Genderson, another strong CHV supporter. See the June 2020 CHV News for a history of the Fund.
