GIVE: VLM ANNUAL FUND
GIVE DIRECTLY TO GOD’S MISSION AT CAMP
About half of VLM’s annual budget comes from the generosity of others. You can give directly into our annual mission in a number of ways.
-
The Builder Giving Club is the core of the VLM Annual Fund. Individuals, families, and groups that commit to annual giving of $100 or more, sustain the ministry year after year and allow VLM to welcome every camper. Each dollar received goes directly to make camp happen this year.
$100 - $249 Builders Level
$250 - $499 Pioneers Level
$500 - $999 Trail Blazers
$1,000 + Voyageurs Level
Donors who give at levels over $10,000 annually are part of the VLM Founding Families.
-
If you wish to identify your gift as a memorial for a loved one or as an honorarium of the work of family, friends, and neighbors please let us know with a note when you make your gift. Please include the contact information for anyone whom you would like to notify of the gift.
-
Recurring gifts allow you to set up regular automatic giving that will support the camps all year long. Making a one-time or recurring gift online is easy to do and helps assure that you are supporting a year-round ministry in God’s great northwoods.
-
Many friends of camp share the good news of giving online and through their social media connections. Facebook fundraisers, giving events, and sites such as www.GiveMN.org provide opportunities to tell your friends about the camps and programs you love to support.
-
Many employers offer Employee Gift Matching Programs. While some like Wells Fargo, 3M, US Bank, or Thrivent are organized by the company internally, others use third party organizations like Benvity or YourCause. Please contact your company’s HR department for more information on how your gift can be doubled through your employer’s generous match.
-
Many churches or other organizations have foundations that offer granting opportunities. Please contact your pastor or other leaders to explore how a grant to VLM may help the foundation meet their impact goals.
