Other Ways to Give
There are many ways to contribute to the VSCPA Educational Foundation:
Contribution
Give a tax-deductible gift to the VSCPA Educational Foundation to help secure the future of the CPA profession. Donate to the Annual Fund, or review a list of other funds to which you can allocate your gift.
Named Scholarships
You can make your support last for years to come by establishing a named scholarship. The VSCPA Educational Foundation works with you to create a fund agreement that will guide the use of your gift both now and in the future. These scholarships may be named to recognize your support, honor a distinguished colleague or remember a loved one.
The Educational Foundation named scholarship program began in 2004 with a generous $100,000 gift from Goodman & Company. Since then, several firms, companies and individuals have followed suit by making a lasting contribution to the accounting profession. Special thank you to all donors who have established named scholarships.
If you are interested in ensuring the future of the accounting profession by establishing a named scholarship, please contact VSCPA Educational Foundation at (800) 733-8272 or info@VSCPAFoundation.com for more information. The minimum amount needed to establish a named scholarship is $50,000. All contributions to the VSCPA Educational Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) corporation, are tax deductible.
Planned Giving
By including the Foundation in your will or estate plans, you can continue your loyal support and leave a legacy for future CPAs in Virginia. The most common form of a deferred or planned gift is a charitable bequest. A will or living trust is a very personal matter and should be prepared with an attorney. The following language is an example of how a bequest may be worded:
"I hereby bequeath to the VSCPA Educational Foundation, located at 4309 Cox Road in Glen Allen, Virginia, the sum of (__% of my estate) or ($ )." (Please choose either a percent or a fixed dollar amount, but not both.)
