Make a Difference Today
Christian Benevolent Association Foundation (CBAF) has a rich history of aiding people in their time of greatest need.
For over 60 years, we have been dedicated to providing services that enhance the well-being of each resident through our circle of care, from Independent Living to Hospice Care, including healthcare residents whose funds become insufficient to cover their basic cost of housing. Through the generosity of our donors, we can continue to faithfully serve residents at Christian Village at Mason and Christian Village at Mt Healthy by providing compassionate care to those in need.
Learn More About UsImpact of Your Gift
Qualifying residents facing financial hardship may continue receiving our dedicated, Christian care. Since its inception, The Christian Village Communities has never asked a resident to leave due to finances.
CVC desires to serve residents and employees while maintaining our mission of providing exceptional care. Your gift can impact a resident that qualifies for subsidy, an employee that encounters an unexpected catastrophic financial hardship, or someone receiving hospice care.
Your gift can provide critical assistance to team members facing financial hardships, fostering their well-being and dedication.
Charitable Gift
At CVC, charitable gifts are used wherever they are needed most at the discretion of the foundation. Your generosity can help us utilize these funds to best serve our residents while maintaining our mission of providing exceptional care.
Endowment
Gifts designated for our Endowment are invested with other long-term gifts to be used for preserving the legacy and mission of the CVC. Legacy Society, our planned giving society, focuses primarily on estate and planned gifts that sustain the brilliant hope of the ministry.
Compassionate Care
Gifts designated for Compassionate Care are earmarked for qualifying residents who, through no fault of their own, have outlived their resources. Since the inception of the CVC, no resident has been asked to leave due to the exhaustion of finances. With the help and generosity of our donors and partners, we pray that the foundation will always have the resources to meet these needs!
Hospice
At Christian Village Hospice, our goal is to focus on comfort and quality of life for our residents with life-limiting illnesses and to provide Christian, comprehensive care to the terminally ill and support for their families and caregivers.
Capital Campaigns
Christian Village Communities continues to thrive and grow. During times of expansion or enhancement, a capital campaign may be needed to fully fund a specific need or building project. The ongoing improvement of our facilities provides a greater retirement experience and an increased quality of life for our residents.

In place of receiving taxable income from a tax-deferred investment account (an IRA, for example), you may transfer funds directly to the CBA Foundation. If you have reached RMD (required minimum distribution) age, you may want to consider donating this income to satisfy the IRS requirement. An annual limit of $100,000 is allowed, and a QCD will not count as taxable income.
Give more to the CBA Foundation and less to taxes! By donating an appreciated publicly traded security, we will receive your shares, liquidate them, and apply the proceeds to the work of the mission. An income tax charitable deduction, based on the fair market value of the security, may be claimed and, if shares are owned one year or more, potential capital gains taxes may be avoided.
Give more by designating the CBA Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), 403 (b), or other retirement account. This planned giving option allows a maximized gift to pass to the CBA Foundation while providing potential estate tax savings.
Make a lasting impact by designating the CBA Foundation as a beneficiary of your life insurance policies or annuity contracts. By planning your giving in this efficient way, you can provide a gift that makes a tremendous impact, especially when these products are fully funded and there are no other needs for the proceeds.
By “deeding” real estate to the CBA Foundation, a charitable deduction for the value of the property is received. These planned gifts are an excellent avenue for those who face significant capital gains taxes or for those looking to simplify the estate process.
Not sure what to do with that Van Gogh painting or that Mickey Mantle rookie card? Transfer these items to the CBA Foundation and you can receive a tax deduction and avoid potential capital gains taxes on any appreciation. Items will be sold, and proceeds will be utilized for the various missions of the CBA Foundation .
By including a bequest to the CBA Foundation in your last will or living trust, you can potentially make a great impact through your legacy. This avenue of planned giving allows you to bless the CBA Foundation without immediately liquidating assets you may need to spend on other expenses. Supplemental updates or changes to wills and trusts are relatively simple and, in some cases, may reduce estate taxes. These gifts ensure the lasting impact of our foundation.
In Their Own Words
We love living at Christian Village at Mason! We moved here earlier than planned, and the many activities and programs provided have justified our decision. The residents and staff are wonderful! To show our appreciation for the lifestyle we enjoy, we are pleased to contribute in a way that benefits both us and the community!
Legacy Society Members and CVM Residents
A promise was kept by the CBA Foundation when I ran out of funds and was granted a subsidy. If it wasn’t for The Christian Village Communities or CBAF, I wouldn’t have a place to live. I’m thankful to the CVC for providing me with my home for all these wonderful years.
The Christian Village at Mt Healthy Resident
When I came here 4 years ago, I was told that I would never be asked to leave if the money ran out. Everybody in my family knows where Mom is and she’s happy here. It’s a feeling of relief knowing that I can go about my daily life confident that I’ll be well-cared for the rest of my days.
