Donations to Local Nonprofits

Donation Evaluation Factors:

• Verifiable nonprofit status
• Proximity and connection to Peddler’s Village
• Local community impact
• Number of people served or benefiting
• Monthly balance of requests supporting children/families, health, or cultural institutions

Requests are prioritized monthly and reviewed with fairness and care.
