A tradition of compassionate generosity
The first residents of White Horse Village established a tradition of sharing and giving that has become a hallmark of our community and continues to make White Horse Village a great place to live.
The White Horse Village Foundation, established in 2022, continues the work of the White Horse Village Endowment Fund, which residents and management created in 1993 to ensure all residents receive quality healthcare and have a home for life. Building on this long history of generosity and charitable giving, the Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization, continues its mission of positively impacting residents’ lives and enhancing our community.

In 2025, the Foundation received an extraordinary $6.53 million bequest from the estate of long-term resident Virginia “Ginner” Mueller. Ginner’s deep love for White Horse Village was evident in all she did, from fundraising for the Residents Association to volunteering in Healthcare. She fully embraced community life here.
Ginner once remarked: “I am so impressed by the amazing spirit of all the residents, determined to make White Horse Village not just good, but the best.” She added, “And we succeeded.”
