The MCV Society recognizes individuals who have taken steps to provide support through a bequest or any type of life-income gift including:
Charitable Bequests
For many donors, a gift made through their will is the best way to make a substantial contribution. Donors can leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of their estate. Through a bequest, a donor can make a gift without depleting current assets and can reduce federal estate taxes.
Life-Income Gifts
These gifts allow a donor to give and receive at the same time. Arrangements vary, but most options offer the following financial benefits:
If you have recently suffered the loss of a loved one and would like to ask family and friends to make a memorial donation to VCU School of Medicine, VCU Health or one of its patient care units, our staff will personally assist you.
To assure that gifts will be properly directed to the fund of your choice, please include the following language in any printed announcement or obituary. If you need assistance with determining the name of a specific fund, please don’t hesitate to contact our staff at the number below.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the MCV Foundation in support of [CENTER OR FUND], noting on the check's memo line that the gift is in memory of [LOVED ONE’S NAME], and mailed to VCU Gifts & Records, Box 843042, Richmond, VA 23284-3042. Online gifts may be made by visiting support.vcu.edu/give/medicine or support.vcu.edu/give/vcuhealth.
Each person who remembers your loved one with a gift will receive a note of thanks for their generosity and a gift receipt from our office. It will be our pleasure to share the names and contact information of those who give with your designated family representative, so that you may thank donors personally if you wish. We will include a total of what has been raised in memoriam in each report.
