Planned Gifts:

reasons. Read more about our new partnership with the Vermont
Community Foundation - click here.
Gifts of Stock - When you donate an appreciated stock,
you are eligible for a tax deduction and you avoid paying captial
gains on the stock's increased value.
Bequests - Leaving a tax-deductible bequest in your will,
is a gift that will continue to grow, allowing CVAA to sustain
our vital programs for elders.
To make a bequest to CVAA, add a sentence to your will stating
your intent such as the sample sentence below:
"I bequeath __________________________________ (describe
dollar amount, property to be given, or proportion of your residuary
estate) to Champlain Valley Agency on Aging, Inc., a not-for-profit
corporation located in Burlington, Vermont, 05401, for its general
charitable purposes."
CVAA recommends you work with your attorney or financial planner
if you are considering one of these options.
Additional Support:
Corporate Sponsorship - CVAA is fortunate to have the
support of many large and small businesses who contribute to the
well-being of elders in our community.

of mature readers in the Champlain Valley.
