Donate to the VFW’s Future
Through Dedicated Funds
In an effort to preserve the Programs of the Department of Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars, we have setup four (4) DEDICATED FUNDS.
These Funds are designated to receive
donations from Posts and Individuals. In time, these Dedicated Funds will
offset the expense of the Department Programs with the ‘annual
interest’ generated from that designated fund. The following Dedicated
Funds are available for donations:
· VOICE OF DEMOCRACY - This fund would offset the Annual Voice of Democracy Promotion and Awards Programs.
· AMERICANISM & PATRIOTIC - This fund would offset the expense of the Annual Americanism/Patriotic Programs.
· VETERANS’ BENEFITS - This fund would aid in the operation of the VFW Claims Service Office and the processing of Veterans Benefits/Entitlements.
· YOUTH ACTIVITIES - This fund would offset the Annual Youth Activity Programs. These programs would be, but not limited to, Youth Baseball, Youth Hockey, Special Olympics and Scouting.
At the present time, the Veterans of Foreign Wars finds itself in a ‘state’ of declining Membership and diminishing returns --- (financially). To preserve the ‘ideals’ of this GREAT Organization, we need to "Look to the Future".... To a time when many of us will no longer be able to carry the "VFW Torch". We therefore, need to plan ahead.
We as Veterans, family members of Veterans and concerned citizens need to preserve the work, memories and Programs of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. One way of doing this, is through "Gift Giving"... Donating to Programs that will honor Veterans in perpetuity.
We are asking that each Post, VFW Member, Family Member or concerned citizen consider an in-kind donation to one of the above-mentioned Dedicated Funds. Another consideration would be to name the Department of Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars in a Will or Bequest.
Be assured, that ALL donations will go directly to the Dedicated Funds of your choice and that only the Annual Interest Income will be applied to the Annual Program expense. NO Administrative expenses will be derived from any of the Dedicated Funds.
