Helping You Build A Stronger Community

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 for the future. 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?

What are some of my options?

• Outright Gifts — Give cash, stocks, real estate or other assets. We accept a variety of assets
• Bequests — Designate a portion of an estate
• Charitable Gift Annuity - Annuity contract pays client for life and charitable fund commences grants upon death
• Charitable Lead Trust — Trust pays the community foundation a fixed amount for a number of years and then assets transfer to beneficiary
• Charitable Remainder Trust — Trust pays beneficiary for life and then assets transfer to community foundation
• Life Estate Contract — Donor transfers home to community foundation and still enjoys use during lifetime  
• Supporting Organizations — Managing gifts and grants with some similarity to a private foundation
