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.

Thousands of Minnesota nonprofits and schools are supporting our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, from Luverne to Grand Portage, Winona to Hallock, and everywhere in between. #GiveAtHomeMN is a celebration of Minnesota’s generosity during tough times, a call to give back as we’re able to help the organizations that make our state a great place to live, work and play.

Hourly and Daily Golden Tickets begin this Friday during #GiveAtHomeMN. We’ll be awarding a total of $68,000 in bonus grants to randomly selected donations every hour and day from May 1 – May 8. Each hour they are giving away $250 to a non-profit who has received a donation during that time and at the end of the day, they are giving away $2,500 to one non-profit. So, your donation could turn into much more for us. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

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 Pam Determan, 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.
