Planned Giving

Planned gift arrangements made through your estate are ways to support DVFriends in the long-term. Your planned gift will help future DVFriends students to reach their academic potential and develop skills that will serve them for life, while also providing you with many benefits. These may include income for life, tax advantages, and/or the ability to make a much larger gift to DVFriends than you may have thought possible.
 


Our Friends for the Future Society recognizes the vision and generosity of donors who have shown their commitment to the future of DVFriends by including the school in their estate plans. These donors have named the school as a beneficiary of a will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, gift annuity, or other planned gift.

If you have made such provisions for DVFriends, please tell us! We would like to recognize your philanthropy during your lifetime. We will invite you to become a member of the Friends for the Future Society so that your example may inspire others to make the same commitment.

Beneficiary designations and bequests are among the most popular, and the simplest, planned gifts to make. In both cases, there are no gift minimums, no impact on your current income, and gifts can be changed at any time. Plus, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you'll be supporting DVFriends to continue its good work well into the future.

"We included DVFriends in our estate plan because the school enabled our son to enter college with a sense of accomplishment. If he remained in the public school system, he would have been lost among the 'underachievers'. The estate gift is our way of paying back for the good work done at this school." - Parent of a DV alum
