Create a Lasting Legacy for Veteran Families
Including the VFW National Home in your will or trust is a meaningful way to ensure veteran and military families continue to receive care, stability, and opportunity for generations to come. A planned gift allows you to make a lasting impact—while still taking care of the people and causes most important to you.
Whether you’re updating an existing plan or creating one for the first time, we make the process simple and secure.
What Does It Mean to Give Through a Will or Trust?
A planned gift is a future commitment that designates a portion of your estate to support the VFW National Home. This type of gift—often called a bequest—is made through your will or trust and does not affect your finances today.
You can choose to leave:
- A specific dollar amount
- A percentage of your estate
- The remainder of your estate after other gifts are fulfilled
