Giving Opportunities for Homestead Village
Since its beginning, the Homestead Village community and its residents have benefited from the kindness and generosity of many supporters. At every important moment, residents, family members, community members, and staff at Homestead Village express their appreciation through financial contributions and donations.
Coming Soon: Capital Campaign to Enhance Community Life at Homestead Village
Homestead Village’s mission is to create a compassionate community while enhancing the independence and dignity of each person we serve. Our Purpose is to serve all who come into our community with genuine and remarkable kindness, respect, and skill. Our service is based on the hallmarks of individuality, continual improvement, engagement in the broader community, and commitment to complete wellness. For nearly forty years, this has been our passion. We have been blessed with sustained growth and the ability to make substantial impact in our residents lives by providing them and their families with welcoming spaces to thrive in this meaningful time of life.
A capital campaign to fund campus improvements will help us to minimize impact on resident fees to fund this work. Instead, we ask those who are able to invest in changes that will benefit not just those who live at Homestead Village, but also their families and the community at large. The philanthropic generosity of previous generations created the beautiful community we enjoy today. Now it is our turn to pay it forward. Please join us to transform our campus and enrich our residents’ lives through the Thriving. Together! Campaign.
Homestead Village Endowment Fund:
We invite you to join us as we endeavor to enhance and build a secure future for Homestead Village. We believe that a well-managed and growing endowment fund will help provide financial security for our residents, provide opportunities to upgrade our facility, and continue to develop staff.
A contribution to the Homestead Village Endowment Fund has many benefits:
- Acknowledges the level of care that you or a loved one has received
- Continues the good work that is being done
- Provides for new services
- Makes a difference in our community
- Creates an enduring legacy that will influence succeeding generations

Homestead Village has established the Endowment Fund program to strengthen the financial well-being of our nonprofit community and to ensure our ability to provide financial security to each and every resident, even if they outlive their financial assets. Your gifts and pledges can be made in a variety of ways, and we greatly appreciate your thoughtful consideration.
