HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE VILLAGE

BECOME A FRIEND OF THE VILLAGE

BECOME A VILLAGE MEMBER

become a donor

Becoming a friend of The Village is a great way to become an advocate for African-American philanthropic efforts. Friends of The Village will have the opportunity to attend the philanthropy speaker series and participate in other educational events.

Village Members are the heart of The Village Giving Circle and the key to transforming our communities. We’ve built a sisterhood around giving back.

Being a Member provides opportunities to participate in The Village grants, site visits, and selection process.

The bigger the circle, the bigger the impact in our community. While voting membership is limited to women who contribute at a certain level, anyone can make a gift of any size in support of The Village’s mission.
