Donate to The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands




			Tools for Giving How can you give? The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands simplifies giving, allows a great degree of flexibility and makes it possible for people and organizations to create a legacy. As you think about how the Foundation might facilitate your charitable giving, we suggest you begin by asking these questions: What are my charitable/community interests? What type of asset do I have to give? What type of involvement do I wish to maintain? The three main ways to give through CFVI are: Establish a Named Fund with $2,500 or more - you can contribute additional gifts to attain the $10,000 requirement each year and determine the purpose for which you would like the income distributed. Become a CFVI Angel with an annual commitment of $500 or more, and join the company of friends and neighbors who support our programs and share their passion for the children and families of our islands.
