The Neighborhood Hotel team loves our [far from perfect] city. We strongly believe that for our city and neighborhoods to thrive, the community effort needs to be huge and consistent. We’re so grateful to live, work and grow in Chicago and have felt very much supported along the way. It’s only natural that we also want to support and give back to the city and communities that we love.
Our annual goal is to continue supporting local organizations throughout Chicago, Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana. Every December, we donate a percentage of the hotel’s profits to a specific, local charity.
In December 2023, we partnered with Hope Chicago by donating 5% of The Neighborhood Hotel Lincoln Park and Little Italy’s revenue from December 1- January 15th to the organization. Hope Chicago’s mission is to create pathways to success for multiple generations of Chicagoans through equitable access to higher education. Hope Chicago’s bold vision is education and economic equity for all Illinois students and families. In Hope’s first year, they partnered with five CPS schools which totaled 4,100 CPS students and families. Over the course of a year, Hope Chicago has seen an increase of 30% in postsecondary enrollment over historical averages. Perhaps more impactful, students that embarked on a higher education pathway were able to make their decisions based on fit and match criteria, rather than financial risk.
This year [December 2024], we’re happy to donate 5% of Lincoln Park and Little Italy’s revenue from December 1 – January 15th to the 100 Club of Illinois. The 100 Club of Illinois provides resources, several forms of financial support, access to training, and moral support to both the families of first responders killed in the line of duty and active duty first responders throughout the state of Illinois. All sworn federal, state, county and local first responders stationed in Illinois are included. The 100 Club of Illinois honors the brave men and women who serve in public safety, police, and fire departments throughout the 102 counties of Illinois, who risk their lives daily so that we can be safe in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
100 Club’s Programming Includes:
-Financial assistance and resources to the families of fallen heroes.
-Financial aid for the dependents of fallen heroes in undergraduate, vocational, and graduate studies.
-Mental health resources, trainings, and funding to active-duty first responders and departments across Illinois.
Another Neighborhood Hotel team tradition is partnering with local organizations, like Catholic Charities, to make meals for those in need. Hitting pause on a work day and making hundreds of sandwiches is a small yet important task that we will continue to do multiple times per year.
Below you’ll find a full list of organizations (local to Chicago and Michigan/Northern Indiana) that we’re not only immensely thankful for, but that we’ve supported since The Neighborhood Hotel launched in 2019.
We’re always curious to learn more about the incredible nonprofits growing and popping up throughout our communities. Please drop us a line to tell us more about what you’re doing! We aim to support whenever we’re able.

About The Neighborhood Hotel
The Neighborhood Hotel was founded in 2020 by travel enthusiasts who enjoy spaces that inspire, comfort and fuel. Each suite is well equipped for short and longterm stays (i.e. kitchens, laundry, etc.). The Neighborhood Hotel transforms old buildings with compelling history into well outfitted apartment style hotels that honor the old while representing the now. The vibe is fresh and fun with rooms that are stocked to support everyone from the homebody to the adventurer. The hotels provide a basecamp for the explorer and a sanctuary for the traveler who needs to recharge, reset or just chill. The suites are simple and clean, punctuated with accents that bring the right amount of pop. The Neighborhood Hotel has locations in Chicago: Lincoln Park, Little Italy, West Loop (2025 opening) and Southwest Michigan: New Buffalo and Grand Beach.
