I. Outright Gifts to Virginia Theological Seminary Gifts of cash are gratefully accepted and help us carry out the universal mission of Christ's church by providing funds for graduate theological education and for theological resources for the entire church. Your gift also helps us fulfill our mission to educate men and women for the ordained ministry and for service in the parish ministry and leadership in the church. All cash gifts are charitable income tax deductions as allowed by law. Gifts of appreciated property offer donors the greatest advantages because you may claim an income tax deduction for the full amount. Securities are a good example.
Securities are only one example of a useful appreciated gift asset.
Every gift to the Seminary is a planned gift - thoughtfully considered and generously given. Some gifts, however, are planned in a special way. They are designed to go on giving for years to come. They deserve our special attention. There are a number of simple ways to include Virginia Seminary in your will or trust.
