How You Can Support the Village

The Village strives to create a supportive neighborhood where older residents thrive and are a vital thread in the fabric of our community. Currently we serve 150 members in the Cleveland Park and Woodley Park neighborhoods through organized social activities and direct assistance for those that need it.

​

The Village is a volunteer led 501c3 not-for-profit. Your tax-deductible contribution is an investment in our community and allows us to serve our neighbors by supporting the organization of events and volunteers.

 

There are many ways you can offer financial support for the Village. Your direct contribution by check or credit card is always welcome. To give by credit card, click the "donate" button.

​

The Village also accepts donations by check. Please make payable to Cleveland & Woodley Park Village and mail to:

  • Establish a charitable lead trust, which will allow the Village to receive income from stock or other assets for a defined period, after which the trust assets are distributed to your family or other beneficiaries of the trust

  • Consider contributing to the Village through a donor advised fund that you may establish with the Greater Washington Community Foundation or any other entity that administers such fund

  • Trade in your bling! The Village partners with Jewelry for Good to accept your donations of unwanted gold and sterling silver as tax-deductible charitable contributions. You’ll receive a donation receipt for the full market value. The Village will receive a check for the value of the items less a small processing fee.

  • Donate your unneeded vehicle. The Village partners with Vehicles for Charity to accept your no longer needed vehicles. All you have to do is sign up and we take it from there, making it easy to dispose of these assets. The Village will arrange to tow your unwanted car, truck, RV to auction and keep 80% of the auction price.

 

We can provide questions and information you can share with your financial planner or attorney.
