Ways to Give

Pledge Ongoing Support

You can continue our important work by pledging your ongoing support. Your multi-year pledge will ensure we can continue to serve children and families, veterans, seniors and people with disabilities for as long as they need us. An ongoing gift in our ministry of service is truly an investment in our entire community and in our future.

We are humbled and grateful for your support on any level.

Cherish the Children
of God Society

Commit to an ongoing, annual pledge of $1,000 a year or more for five years. These unrestricted, long-term pledges are critical to our success as they help us plan for our programs in advance. You can make payments monthly, annually or whenever works best for you.

Evergreen
Society

Commit to extending your annual Cherish the Children pledge for the remainder of your life. This level will allow Volunteers of America to plan for our future and sustain our quality programs even through times of economic uncertainty.

Evergreen
Forever

You have already made a huge difference in our community through your Evergreen Society commitment to Volunteers of America. You can continue your commitment to our Evergreen Society for generations to come with a gift to our endowment fund. 

Evergreen forever

Through Evergreen Forever, you can leave a gift in perpetuity that will continue to change the lives of men, women and children for generations to come.
In the words of the Rev. Don Webb, an Evergreen Forever gift represents an eternal love.

“By it our hurting kin are made glad, knowing someone’s love is lifting them to a new level of life. We’re made glad knowing we are now doing what we were born for, and it won’t ever die. God’s heart is made glad, as more of his stronger children have become his co-workers and more of his hurting children are helped to be whole and happy.”

You can make a gift in one of several ways to our Endowment Fund, which is invested. Each year Volunteers of America will use a portion of the fund to continue a Cherish the Children Society membership in your name, forever. The rest is reinvested so we do not have to touch the principal, and the fund will make annual distributions in perpetuity. 

A gift of:

  • $25,000 may produce an estimated annual income of $1,000*
  • $250,000 may produce an estimated annual income of $10,000*
  • $625,000 may produce an estimated annual income of $25,000* * based on an estimated 4% investment return

You can fund your Evergreen Forever endowed amount fully during your lifetime in one or more installments; partially during your lifetime in one of more installments with any unfunded portion paid from you estate; or fully from your estate at your death. Securities and other assets may be used as well. Your attorney or financial planner can help you with the right language to ensure your wishes are fulfilled. 

Please contact Chuck Meehan, President/CEO, or Lisa Brandeburg, Vice President of Development and Communications, at (318) 221-2669 for more information.

Other gifts

Your gifts of dollars and valuable resources will help thousands of our neighbors in need including academic and support services for children and families, veterans needing a home, and people with mental, physical or intellectual disabilities. We pledge to honor your requests and be good stewards.

We offer many opportunities to give. For any further questions about donations, e-mail Lisa Brandeburg, Vice President of Development and Communications.
