Gifts With Promise

Since 1967, Sunshine Village has been sustained, supported and strengthened by the generosity and investment of our community.

Thanks to donations from families, businesses, civic groups, and friends – along with special event proceeds and memorial gifts – we’re able to go above and beyond our contracted funding. These gifts allow us to develop innovative programs that enhance lives and help the people we serve truly SHINE.

Your Support Makes a Real Impact

Every donation is highly valued and used wisely. 89% of every fundraising dollar goes toward our ongoing mission of creating great days at Sunshine Village.

Your generosity helps us:

  • Purchase adaptive equipment

  • Upgrade technology

  • Improve buildings and furnishings

  • Provide program materials

  • Host client celebrations

  • Deliver services to individuals with no funding access

Additionally, Sunshine Village is able to use donations to provide services for people who would otherwise receive no funding. Without this assistance, they would be forced to stay at home. As an organization, we are deeply grateful for the continued gifts that enable us to grow, adapt and expand our facilities and our services, but; that is nothing compared to the gratitude expressed by the individuals and families we serve.

Thank you so much for helping us deliver on the promise of a great day – every day!

Recognized for Transparency and Trust

Sunshine Village has earned the 2026 Silver Seal of Transparency from Candid (formerly GuideStar).
This designation reflects our commitment to openness, accountability, and responsible stewardship of your gifts.
