Support The Village

Throughout Holden’s history, the Village has depended on financial support from people like you. 

Because of generous donors like you, we can provide:

  • Invigorating discussions with expert teaching faculty on topics including ecology, art, justice, theology, and more! 
  • Sessions with visiting musicians and artists
  • Top-notch programming such as Women’s Retreat, May Youth Weekends, and more!
  • Materials for our Art Studios and equipment for the Hike Haus
  • Comfortable beds for hundreds of Villagers each week
  • January term programming for college and seminary students
  • Stipends/salaries and benefits to the seasonal and long-term volunteers and employees whose skills, leadership, and hard work operate the historic, off-the-grid Village infrastructure and make the Holden experience possible   
  • Opportunities to visit for volunteers, guests, and all those who have yet to experience Holden Village!
