Personalized bricks are a great way to: honor a family member or friend, provide recognition of volunteer service for a group or individual, pay tribute to a loved one or give a gift in recognition of a special event or person. Bricks will be positioned in a place of prominence to be seen by all who visit the VINE Adult Community Center.

Show your support for VINE on Tuesday, December 7, National Giving Day!

GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. To encourage donors’ generosity, Facebook will match $7 million in qualifying donations made on Facebook during GivingTuesday.
COVID has changed the way VINE operates, but it hasn’t broken us. We are resilient and we have adapted. VINE is facing challenging times ahead, yet our staff and volunteers continue to make a positive difference in the lives of the older adults in our community. More than ever, we need your support.
Facebook pays all the processing fees for you, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the nonprofit.
Please consider donating to VINE so we can continue helping the older adults in our community live independently and age gracefully.

A life income plan allows you to make a substantial gift to VINE while providing for personal financial needs. Charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, and other life income plans offer substantial tax benefits.

Gifts of life insurance allow you to contribute assets no longer needed for family security. An existing policy can be donated to VINE Faith in Action or the organization can be named as beneficiary.

If you are affiliated with a company that has a matching gift program, you may be able to double or triple your gifts to VINE.

For your consideration, VINE Faith in Action presents a variety of naming opportunities and recognition options for the Adult Community Center. Contact Melinda, VINE Executive Director, to discuss how you may leave a legacy through a major contribution.

A recognition wall on the first floor of the building will permanently acknowledge those who contribute to the building fund at the following levels:

Sower $1,000 – $4,999
Nurturer $5,000 – $7,499
VINE Keeper $7,500 – $9,999
Producer $10,000 – $14,999
Fruit Bearer $15,000 – $19,999
Harvester $20,000 – $24,999

Gifts of appreciating assets, such as securities or real estate, are a popular alternative to cash donations and provide tax benefits.

If you are a member of Thrivent, your policy generates funds you can designate to VINE. These are dollars that don’t come out of your pocket so it’s almost like giving away free money. There are two ways to designate your Thrivent Choice dollars; call Thrivent at (800) 847-4836 or go online at thrivent.com.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 is permanent legislation that allows donors age 70 1/2 to make a tax-free transfer up to $100,000 from their IRA to one or more public charities such as VINE Faith in Action. We encourage you to consult your personal, financial and legal advisors to learn more about this opportunity.

Through charitable bequests, you can make significant gifts not possible during your lifetime and can reduce estate tax burdens. For more information about making a contribution, please contact the VINE Office.
