Tax-deductible · 501(c)(3) · EIN 42-2401101
Your dollar is never spent. It is only Loaned — again and again.
A donation to most charities is used once. A donation to VIGA is Loaned at zero interest, repaid, and Loaned again — the same dollars holding up family after family.

Appreciated Stocks
The most tax-advantaged way to give. Donate shares held over a year: you deduct the full market value and pay no capital-gains tax on the growth — VIGA sells tax-free, so every dollar of appreciation goes to lending instead of the IRS. Transfers take one instruction to your broker.
Cost to VIGA: $0 — often 20–30% more impact than selling first and giving cash
Donate Real Estate
A home, rental, land, or commercial property — deed it to VIGA and deduct the appraised fair-market value while avoiding capital-gains tax. One property can seed a named Living Fund that lends in your family’s name for generations. We handle every step with counsel; it starts with a conversation.
Cost to VIGA: $0 — one gift, a lifetime of lending
Because loans recycle every few months, each donated dollar is Loaned many times over the years. Your gift compounds in lives — not interest.
Somewhere, someone is standing at a door you once stood at.
The dollar you give today is the one that opens it — again, and again, and again.
