Paying It Forward . . .
by supporting female leaders
of the next generation

In 2018 the generous women of NVLC began a legacy of giving for young women in our local community to achieve their educational dreams. The first scholarship was awarded in 2019, and each year since, we have grown our giving with fundraisers and direct donations. To date, our little village has provided scholarships totaling $24,000, impacting 8 amazing and worthy young ladies right here in Opelika.

In partnership with East Alabama Community Foundation (EACF), an affiliate of Central Alabama Community Foundation (CACF), the funding of future scholarships will be accomplished through an annual Scholarship Appeal Campaign for tax-deductible donations and giving.

To ensure our legacy for 2025 and beyond continues, our goal for this year is $10,000 by year-end. With 180+ members and several ways of tax-deductible giving (one-time gifts, recurring gifts, Qualified Charitable IRA Distributions, and gifts in honor of/in memory of someone special) we know we can meet our current and future Scholarship Appeal Campaign goals ~ it will truly take a village, but we know we have the best village right here in National Village!

The NVLC, INC Board of Directors, Finance Committee Members, and Scholarship Advisory Committee Members are passionate about our NVLC Scholarship and with this passion, each of us has made a generous commitment to participate in the Scholarship Appeal.
