Estate Planning and Planned Giving

When you make a planned gift, you and your family may receive financial and tax benefits while supporting people in need.

Father Robert Banome Founder’s Society: When you make a planned gift to VIP, you join VIP’s “Founder’s Society.” VIP was founded in 1974 to fill the need for vital social services in The Bronx. Inspired and led by Father Robert Banome, residents and community leaders in the East Tremont/Crotona section of the Bronx joined together to grapple with the neighborhood’s most pressing problems: poverty, lack of safety, family disintegration, drug abuse, unemployment, and housing abandonment. Your decision to assist VIP by sustaining its future with a planned gift, honors his memory and links your good work to the work of our founder.

Giving Through Your Estate: Naming VIP Community Services in your will, living trust, retirement plan, or other estate plan is a simple way to make a meaningful contribution that helps sustain vital programs and services. This includes bequests and your beneficiary designations.
