Contributing to the Foundation

You can encourage the growth and recognition of pharmacy in Virginia by supporting the VPhA Research & Education Foundation.

There are many ways to give a gift to the VPhA Foundation, including cash, stocks and bonds, memorials, life insurance, and wills.  Your contribution to the VPhA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is deductible as a charitable donation for income tax purposes (Tax ID# 54-1142544).  Please contact 804-285-4145 or Foundation@virginiapharmacists.org if you have any questions.  You may make a donation by printing VPhA Foundation's contribution form.


Rx for Excellence: Helping Pharmacists Help People Annual Giving Campaign
Annual giving is essential to the VPhA Foundation's ability to carry out its mission to promote public welfare through the development of pharmaceutical services and advance the profession of pharmacy.  Each October, during American Pharmacists Month, VPhA members will receive a letter requesting a donation to this campaign.  Please consider this opportunity to show your support for pharmacy in Virginia.  Of course, annual gifts can be made at any time of the year.  Donors are recognized in the VPhA Journal.


The Virginia Pharmacy Legacy
The Foundation Legacy Endowment Group (LEG) has been established to provide a means to memorialize and extend your personal commitment to pharmacy.  LEG is comprised of individuals who wish to provide an affordable gift of life insurance to the Foundation.  Your commitment of life insurance will provide a substantial deferred gift with modest annual contributions for 12 years.  The annual premium may be tax deductible as it is paid to VPhA Foundation, an IRS approved charitable organization. For more information, please read the brochure, "Establishing Your Legacy with the VPhA Foundation."


Memorials
Memorials are contributions made in memory of a friend or loved one.  Memorials are acknowledged in the VPhA Journal and a notification card is sent to the family.  Please include name and address of the appropriate person(s) when making your gift.  The amount of the gift is not indicated in the card.


Gifts of Stock
The VPhA Foundation encourages gifts of publicly traded stock.  One advantage of this type of gift is that there may be no capital gains tax payable for gifts of appreciated securities.


Planned Gifts
The VPhA Foundation is able to receive gifts of life insurance as well as bequests through wills or estate plans.


Golf Tournament
The VPhA Foundation holds an annual golf tournament to help support its programs.  The tournament is held in August at the Signature at West Neck, an Arnold Palmer Signature Course, in Virginia Beach.  If you would like to play in or sponsor a future tournament, contact 804-285-4145 or ashley@virginiapharmacists.org.
