Recurring Gift. Have your gift automatically charged to a credit card of choice on or around the same day each month.
Matching Gifts. Many companies encourage their employees to make charitable contributions by matching their philanthropic gift. Find out whether your employer participates and learn more at www.doublethedonation.com/vfcce.
Planned Giving. Making a bequest from your future estate can be a generous way to maximize your gift. One simple form of a planned gift is designating the VFCCE in a will for a specific amount or a percentage of the estate. Charitable gift annuities, Life insurance policies, or designations from retirement plans are other forms of planned giving.

Named Gifts and Endowments. Endowments are bridges between one generation and the next that ensure quality higher education will continue to be accessible to all students through Virginia’s Community Colleges.
In times of crisis, endowments help to alleviate the negative effects of significant state budget cuts and the costs of disaster recovery. The support provided to our colleges and students by these funds is critical during these periods.
