HAPPENINGS
TIME TO CHECK YOUR
End-of -Year List
MAKE A GIFT
Each holiday season, the Virginia Baptist Homes
Foundation sponsors an Honor Tree in each LifeSpire
community. All loved ones who were honored or
remembered by a gift made to the VBH Foundation at
any time in 2025 will have their names placed on the
Honor Tree in the community. Ornaments are also
created for those residents who passed away during the
year. “Tribute Giving” is a significant way that donors
give to the VBH Foundation every year.
In 2024, nearly 400 gifts were
received in memory of or in honor
of a loved one, generating well over
$75,000 in support.
Tribute gifts can be made
online at LifeSpireLiving.org/give.
Make a gift to the VBH Foundation
Honor a loved one on your holiday gift list by making a
gift to the VBH Foundation. We’ll send a card notifying
the recipient, and you’ll get that warm, fuzzy feeling of
helping a senior in need—a lot better than a fruitcake!
JOIN
Join our Monthly Giving Circle
Make an even bigger impact with your gift by joining
the Monthly Giving Circle! Your monthly commitment
helps sustain vital funding for seniors in need while
also reducing our costs, since you won’t receive future
solicitations.
ELIMINATE INCOME TAX
Eliminate income tax on your mandatory
IRA withdrawal this year!
Make a gift to the VBH Foundation directly from your
IRA and take advantage of the IRA Charitable Rollover.
This gift will also count towards your required minimum
distribution (RMD).
THANK YOU FOR INVESTING IN OUR
MISSION TO SERVE THOSE IN NEED!
Gifts can be made using the enclosed envelope, or
with a credit card through our secure online form at
LifeSpireLiving.org/give. Please contact the Foundation
office at 804-521-9213 for information or assistance.
