Building the Village, One Experience at a Time
Social isolation can affect older adults and caregivers alike. The Village is designed to make meaningful participation possible even when distance, mobility, transportation, or caregiving responsibilities make in-person activities difficult.
Initial site plans, layouts, and community environments have been designed, and the first phase of the build has begun.
Additional spaces, accessibility planning, programs, participant testing, and refinement—guided by available resources and partnerships.

Become a Founding Village Sponsor
Village Without Boundaries™ is already taking shape! Compassion by Design, Inc. is developing an immersive virtual community designed to bring older adults and family caregivers together through meaningful social connections, recreation, wellness, education, and shared experiences.
But building the Village is only the beginning. Creating a welcoming and sustainable community also requires people, technology, programming, and ongoing operational support.
We invite businesses, foundations, technology companies, healthcare organizations, and community partners to explore opportunities to become Founding Village Sponsors.
More Than a Sponsorship. An Opportunity to Build Together.
We believe meaningful partnerships begin with a conversation. We want to learn about your organization, your interests, and how we might work together to create an engaging and accessible virtual community for older adults and caregivers.
Ways to Support the Village
Participation in Village Without Boundaries™ will be free for older adults and family caregivers.
Sponsorship opportunities may include appropriate recognition, Village signage, and dedications. Partnerships will be developed through individual conversations based on shared interests and the needs of the initiative.
Interested in exploring a partnership? We'd love to hear from you.
Select "I'm Interested in Becoming a Founding Village Sponsor" on the inquiry form above. Our team will follow up to discuss your interests.
Help Us Build, Launch, and Sustain Village Without Boundaries™
Compassion by Design is creating an immersive virtual community where older adults and family caregivers can connect, participate in activities, enjoy beautiful surroundings, access resources, and build meaningful relationships without leaving home.
Development is already underway. But creating the virtual environment is only part of what it takes to bring the Village to life.
We also need community hosts, program facilitators, participant orientation, technical assistance, outreach, and ongoing operational support to ensure the Village becomes an active and welcoming community.
Your contribution can help complete development, maintain our virtual regions, support community staffing, provide programs and activities, assist participants with Second Life, and keep the Village operating.
Our $50,000 community fundraising campaign is part of a larger effort to establish and sustain Village Without Boundaries™ as a national initiative of Compassion by Design.
Whether you contribute $25, $50, $100, or another amount, your support helps us move closer to opening the Village and keeping participation free.
Monthly donations are also welcome and can help provide consistent support for ongoing programs and community operations.
Secure donations are processed through PayPal's Village Without Boundaries™ fundraising campaign.
