Support aVillage
aVillage keeps practical help flowing to foster, adoptive, and kinship families — and stays free for the small churches that could never afford software.
Who pays for aVillage.
aVillage is funded by the churches that use it. Your contribution is based on your size; small churches pay nothing, and any church can request a reduced or sponsored account — cost should never be the reason foster families go unserved.
Where a gift goes
Supporting aVillage keeps the platform running and sponsors churches that can't contribute — the ones serving families in the places with the fewest resources. It is not a gift to any particular church.
If you want to support a specific church's foster-care ministry instead, give to that church directly in the app: those gifts go to the church's own payment account, never through ours.
Before you give, plainly
- aVillage is operated by Lukshi, LLC, which is not a tax-exempt charity. A gift to aVillage is not tax-deductible as a charitable donation.
- Giving is entirely optional. It unlocks nothing — no feature, no tier, no badge — for you or for any church.
- Card processing fees apply, and you'll see them as their own line before you confirm. Gifts to aVillage carry no platform fee.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Recurring gifts continue until you cancel, and you can cancel any time.
Giving happens inside the app, so you'll be asked to sign in first — that's how a receipt reaches you and how a recurring gift stays cancellable.
Other ways to help
- Bring aVillage to your church — the most useful thing anyone can do. Get on the list.
- Serve a family near you. If your church is already in aVillage, ask a leader for the join code and pick up one need this week.
- Tell a ministry leader. Most churches that want to wrap around foster families are stuck on the coordination, not the willingness.
