you want to help ensure
VVMF’s future viability and strength.
long-term planning is more important to you than an immediate income tax deduction.
you want the flexibility of a gift commitment that doesn't affect your current cash flow.
Your bequest to support our mission should be planned thoughtfully. Many good planning techniques are available, and you should choose the type of bequest that best suits your personal objectives.
For example, your bequest can be a stated dollar amount, or you can bequeath specific property to VVMF. Some of our friends prefer to bequeath a certain percentage of the remainder of their estate — the amount that remains after paying all debts, costs, and other prior legacies. (You can visit our Sample Gift Language to get you started.)
Whichever form you prefer, you can direct that your bequest be used for the general support of our work or for a specific purpose you designate. Whatever your objectives, we will be happy to work with you in planning a bequest that will be satisfying, economical, and effective in carrying out your wishes in our important mission.
With your permission, we will recognize your gift through membership in the Wall Society, a distinguished group of supporters who have made a planned gift to our mission.
VVMF uses the generous contributions of its donors to preserve the legacy of The Wall and those who served and sacrificed in the Vietnam War and to educate future generations.
VVMF meets the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance's Standards for Charity Accountability.
