Outright Gift
-
Make a quick and easy gift to VMC. Cash, stocks, bonds and/or mutual funds can all be donated. Donor may take an income tax deduction and avoid capital gains tax.
-
-
Will/Bequest
-
One of the easiest ways to give involves simply naming VMC as a beneficiary of your will or trust. A bequest may be for a particular amount or percentage of your estate. Estate tax savings may be significant. Making a will or changing your will is a relatively easy process beginning with a call to your attorney.

-
Checking & Savings Accounts, IRA’s
-
Often overlooked as a planned gift, these accounts are assets for which a donor can designate VMC as a beneficiary.
-
-
IRA Charitable Rollover
-
Individuals age 70½ or older can make tax-free gifts totaling up to $100,000 from a traditional IRA account directly to qualified charities like VMC. While you cannot claim a charitable deduction for IRA gifts, the distribution counts towards your minimum required distribution and does NOT trigger income tax for you.

-
Life Insurance
-
Make a large gift to VMC with little cost. Donate a policy with VMC as owner and beneficiary. Donor can also name VMC as a full or partial beneficiary. Donor may receive an income tax deduction and possible future deductions.

Billy Currier Legacy Society
The Billy Currier Legacy Society is an honorary society of supporters and donors who have made estate, life-income, or named legacy gifts for the benefit of Volunteer Ministry Center. The Billy Currier Legacy Society was established in 2021 and provides a way for VMC to recognize and thank donors during their lifetime for making a legacy gift.
Billy Currier was a resident of Minvilla Manor since it opened in November 2010. A few years before he passed, Billy decided he needed a Will. He said he didn’t have much, but what he did have he wanted to go to VMC. Over the years, VMC provided a home and stability for Billy. To include VMC in his Will was the best way Billy knew to give back to his “VMC family.”
In 2021 the Billy Currier Legacy Society was established with members committing to a legacy gift for the Volunteer Ministry Center. Through a planned gift, generous and forward thinking donors support the long term success of VMC. The Legacy Society provides a way for VMC to recognize and thank donors during their lifetimes for their legacy gifts.
