Philanthropy

We often hear from our residents and their families that the Friendship Village of Dublin community is much more than a place to live. When you live at Friendship Village, your neighbors become family. The caring associates who prepare and serve your meals, plan your activities, maintain your facilities and grounds, and provide medical and personal care are a part of that family, too. Are you grateful for the care you or a family member received at Alderwood Health & Rehab? Did a member of our Culinary team help you plan a special event or go above and beyond in a moment of service? Perhaps one of your neighbors extended a helping hand at an important time. Through Friendship & Gratitude, you can share your thanks and support the Friendship Village of Dublin community at the same time.

How to Give

There are many ways to give:

  • Qualified Charitable Distribution: Making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA is a wise giving strategy for many donors over the age of 70.5 because of the unique opportunity to offset required minimum distribution (RMD). For more information, contact Charitable Giving.
