Help us ensure the Villages has the resources to deliver on its mission.

Yes, we are a registered 501(c)3 organization.

Recent tax code changes for 2026 and beyond have impacted the ways many donors give, and stock gifts can be a beneficial way to maximize your impact on our community. Your gift to the Villages of Detroit ensures we have the resources necessary to capitalize on our programming.

When you transfer appreciated securities directly to a non-profit like the Villages of Detroit, you typically pay no capital gains tax on the growth, and you may claim a deduction for the full market value (for assets held at least one year). It's a win for you and a win for our community. 

Because recent tax changes might be impacting the ways supporters like you are donating, we want to emphasize a financially beneficial way you can create lasting change that spans generations: giving from your IRA, if you’re 70.5 or older.

A qualified charitable distribution from an IRA reduces your taxable income and counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year for those age 73 and over. 

You get the income tax savings and your favorite non-profit organizations receive the funds tax-free. For 2026, you can give up to $111,000 per person out of your IRA. 

We are so fortunate to have supporters like you in our corner. A gift from your IRA would make a lasting difference in our efforts to grow the Villages population. 

If you are over the age of 70.5 and want to make a difference this year, please consider a QCD today by working with your financial advisor.

Monthly support allows the Villages CDC to move from reacting to opportunities to planning for them. It helps cover the unglamorous but essential work of coordination, staffing, and follow-through that makes housing and neighborhood investment possible. Membership support strengthens our core capacity, including staffing needs that allows for better project coordination and community engagement.

Yes, we have volunteer opportunities. From staffing events to helping with advocacy, to project based work, we have options throughout the course of the year. Reach out to rob@thevillagesofdetroit.com for more details.

Yes, particularly as it relates to some of our project based work, such as supplies for cleanups, equipment, items for silent auctions at fundraisers, and the like. If you have something of value that you would like to donate, please reach out to rob@thevillagesofdetroit.com

Of course. From loved ones that have passed to folks that are with us today, making a financial contribution to recognize someone special in your life is always a kind gesture.
