Join Us in Building Gratitude Village: A Place to Belong, A Life to Cherish, A Net-Zero Future

At Gratitude Village, we envision a vibrant, sustainable cohousing community where neighbors are more than just the people who live next door—they are friends, collaborators, and an extended family. We are looking for passionate individuals and families to join us in creating this dream. Here’s how you can be part of this groundbreaking project!

1. Become Part of the Core Group: Explorers and Founders

Explorer Level: Whether you’re just curious about cohousing or seriously considering joining, the Explorer Level is for you. With an initial commitment of $150 per family, you’ll help support early-stage planning efforts, including feasibility studies and outreach initiatives. This non-refundable contribution signifies your interest in the community and keeps you in the loop on all developments. Anyone can join at this level, and it’s a great way to start your journey with us.

Founder Level: Ready to take a deeper dive? With a $5,000 initial deposit (deducted from the cost of your home), you can secure your position to claim a home site in Gratitude Village. This deposit is held until we have a core group of at least six committed families. Once we reach this milestone, we’ll collaborate with professionals like Studio Co+Hab or Cohousing Solutions to conduct a 2-3 day vision-building workshop. This immersive experience will allow us to co-create the foundational values, design and aspirations of our community.

2. Seeking Investors: Build the Vision Without Moving In

For those who believe in our mission but aren’t looking to live in the community, we invite you to invest in Gratitude Village. Your support can help turn this vision into reality, contributing to the broader movement for sustainable living and strong community connections. We are offering 10% return. Interested in learning more? Please reach out to us at info@gratitudevillageco.com to discuss investment opportunities and the potential for positive impact.

3. Calling All Partners: Builders, Developers, and More

We are eager to collaborate with builders, developers, housing authorities, NGOs, and other organizations that share our values and can offer skills, services, or resources to help bring Gratitude Village to life. We are looking for folk with experience in Net Zero, Passive House and LEED certifications and construction as well as groups interested in helping us achieve affordability (subsidized) for 1/3 to 1/2 of our homes. If you or your organization are interested in partnering with us, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can create a model for future communities that prioritize sustainability, connection, and well-being.

4. Friends of Gratitude Village: Support Our Mission

Even if you’re not looking to live in Gratitude Village, you can still be a part of this exciting journey. We’re exploring becoming a 501(c)(3) organization to allow for tax-deductible donations. If you’re passionate about sustainable living, community building, or just want to support a good cause, consider donating to help us move forward. Every contribution brings us closer to realizing this dream.

Next Steps After the Founders Group is Formed:

1. Locate and Purchase Land: With our core group of families and initial funding, we’ll begin the search for the perfect location for Gratitude Village.

2. Approval Process: We will work closely with the local government to secure necessary approvals for our community plans.

3. Finalize Designs: Collaborating with architects and designers, we’ll fine-tune our community and home designs to align with our vision for sustainable and beautiful living spaces.

4. Break Ground: With plans in place and approvals secured, we’ll break ground and begin building the infrastructure and homes of Gratitude Village.

5. Move In: Finally, we’ll welcome our founding families into their new homes, officially launching the Gratitude Village community!

Are you ready to be a part of something extraordinary? Whether you want to live here, invest, partner, or simply support, there’s a place for you in this journey. Let’s build a community where sustainability meets connection, and every day feels like a celebration of life.
