$20 Monthly Challenge
Reliable monthly support gives VAlanthropy something every growing nonprofit needs: predictable funding.
We are challenging supporters to commit $20 per month and become part of a dependable community helping us move Hidden Wounds Village Alpha forward.
Twenty dollars may feel small on its own. When hundreds of supporters make that commitment together, it creates dependable support we can plan around.
Leave a lasting tribute
Legacy Brick Program
Donors may purchase a engraved Brick planned to be placed in the gardens and pathways throughout the Hidden Wounds Village - Alpha
A brick may honor:
- A veteran or service member
- A loved one
- A military family
- A business
- A civic or community organization
- Someone whose service or support deserves to be remembered
Military Service Logos may be added at no extra charge.
Donor-Advised Giving
If you have a donor-advised fund, you may recommend a grant to VAlanthropy through your sponsoring organization.
VAlanthropy can receive eligible donor-advised fund grants from qualified providers, including National Christian Foundation (NCF) and other donor-advised fund sponsors.
A donor-advised fund is simply another charitable giving method available to supporters. Acceptance of a grant through NCF or another provider does not create a religious affiliation between VAlanthropy and that sponsoring organization.
If you already have an NCF Giving Fund, you may recommend a grant to VAlanthropy through your existing account.
