By including VISTE in your will or living trust, you are ensuring that we can continue our mission for years to come.  A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals and benefit VISTE. You can designate either a specific dollar amount, a percentage, or a percentage of the remainder of your estate, once other disbursements are made.

VISTE encourages everyone to have a will in place, or update one prepared years ago. If you need assistance, you may wish to seek legal counsel, or you can also access free forms online at FreeWill.com.

Also, please consider informing VISTE if you have already included us, or once your plans are in place. By making us aware of your future gift by filling out our Letter of Intent, it provides us the opportunity to thank you during your lifetime, fulfill your intentions, and recognize your commitment to our mission.

Passionate about supporting VISTE’s mission even after your lifetime? It is not only possible, it's easy to do with a beneficiary designation. Name Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (VISTE) as a beneficiary to receive assets from these types of accounts/funds after you are gone:  retirement plans, bank or brokerage accounts, paid-up life insurance policy, or donor advised funds.  You simply fill out a form that is entirely separate from your will.  Not only is it an easy way to give, but it is also flexible—you aren't locked into the choices you make today. You can review and adjust beneficiary designations anytime.
