Planned Giving
Eternalize Your Legacy. Secure Their Future.
At Veterans Outreach Center, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive, life-changing tools our local veterans need to thrive. But ensuring those tools are available tomorrow requires visionary leadership today. The Legacy Brigade is an exclusive group of forward-thinking supporters who have chosen to include Veterans Outreach Center in their estate plans. As a Legacy Brigade member, your commitment will become a living part of our organization’s work, one that will surely impact generations of veterans to come.
A planned gift, whether through a bequest in your will, a life insurance policy, or a retirement account designation, costs nothing during your lifetime but makes a major impact:
- Guarantee future veterans always have cost-free access to emergency housing, career credentialing, wellness programs, and more.
- Give VOC the financial foundation needed to adapt to the evolving challenges of tomorrow’s service members.
- Create an eternal, personal legacy of empowerment and community strength.
There is no single way to give, and a planned gift can be tailored to fit your family’s unique financial goals. Whether your estate is large or small, every commitment ensures that the veterans of the future will never have to navigate their civilian transition alone.
Common planned giving vehicles include:
- A Bequest in Your Will or Trust: Designating a specific dollar amount, asset, or percentage of your estate to Veterans Outreach Center.
- Retirement Account Designations: Naming VOC as a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan.
- Life Insurance Policies: Transferring the ownership of a fully paid life insurance policy to the agency, or naming VOC as a primary or contingent beneficiary.
When you notify us of your planned gift, you will be officially inducted into the Legacy Brigade. As a member, you will receive:
- A personalized Certificate of Membership recognizing your visionary commitment.
- Exclusive invitations to VIP events
- Special recognition in our annual impact reports and agency publications (with the option to remain completely anonymous, if preferred).
