“Over the course of two decades I have been endlessly, profoundly impressed and touched by the nature, the love, that is Camphill. Camphill has given Mike the opportunity to earn his self-esteem and membership in a society where all are equal, valued and loved.”
Camphill Village Kimberton Hills continues strong into its sixth decades. With your help, we will continue to thrive, sharing a life in which all members of the community lead productive and meaningful lives. With mutual support and mutual respect, we are a model of how the world could be. Your donations provide a large and essential part of our annual operating funds, as well as support for special projects.
Villager Support Fund. This unrestricted fund is used to pay for the essentials of life in our community: food, clothing, heat, light, home repairs, shared vehicles, medical expenses, and so much else.
Support for Special Projects (Restricted Funds). In some cases, donors have established funds for special purposes; in other cases Camphill Village Kimberton Hills has itself launched campaigns to support exciting initiatives. Simply choose one of them on the My Gift Support options on our donation form.
Founders Fund, established so that the kind of life that CVKH provides to adults with intellectual disabilities can be available to families that cannot otherwise afford the cost.
Master Plan Fund, providing support for new buildings, major renovations, and infrastructure improvements.
Dairy Renovation Fund, for a three-phase project to build a new barn, a re-designed milking parlor, and a new storage and marketing facility. $550,715 has been raised so far, and we still need $1,152,285.
Posie Huston Aging in Community Fund, created in memory of villager Posie Huston, supports the special needs of aging villagers that go beyond normally anticipated expenses.
Morrie Huston Villager Activity Fund, created in memory of Morrison Coqates Huston who served as chairman of the board of Camphill Village Kimberton Hills for eighteen years, provides support for special recreational activities undertaken by the households.
Chamber Music Residency Program, created by Robert Martin in 2021, brings young chamber music ensembles to Camphill Village Kimberton Hills for short periods of intense rehearsal during which they become acquainted with our community, followed by a public concert in Rose Hall. Funds donated this program cover the travel costs and a modest fee for a distinguished coach to work with the ensemble.
