Questions and Answers
I'd like to help, but will my small donation really make a difference?
The Village welcomes all gifts, regardless of size. Gifts not designated for any specific fund are put into the General Fund. Income only from the General Fund is used for the benefit of the Village as determined by the Board of Directors.
Why do some of the Village funds list a specific purpose?
Often donors request their contribution be used for a special fund, such as activities, which provides outside entertainment for the residents , continuing staff education, or religious programs through the Rabbi Aaron Baer Religious Education Fund.
