Donating to veterans organizations
1.
2. There are many veterans organizations in the
United States of America which get a
percentage of their funding from individual
contributors to help them bring a wide range
of professional services to homeless veterans
as well as those veterans who are in need.
Therefore it is very important that you know
ways of donating to veterans organizations so
that you can be part of the people who are
making a difference to the lives of the
veterans in need.

3. One way that you can donate to veterans’
organizations it through annual appeals.
Veteran Inc. is an example of a non-profit
organization that allows you to support it during
the holiday season by donating $100 or more to its
annual appeal.
91% of this organization's budget is used for
programs and also services for veterans while the
remaining 9% is used for administration as well as
fundraising activities aimed at raising more money
to support veterans.

4. Another way of donating to veterans’
organizations is by contributing cash and
goods.
Veterans Inc. accepts money contributions
from individuals and goods such as men's and
women's clothing, canned goods, dry goods
and also vehicles.
The organizations usually have wish lists to help
you know the goods that you can donate

5. You can also ask from the particular
organization if you are unsure about what to
donate and also where to drop the goods.
As for the money contributions, many
organizations allow contributions by checks,
credit, cash and also online donations.
You can also donate a vehicle to the
veterans’ organizations.

6. Most of these organizations need vehicles that will
enable the veterans to get transportation and also
better their chances of being employed.
You just need to inquire from the specific
organization about the donation procedure.
Many people may not have considered
contributing durable mechanical equipment
which may be very useful to veterans that need
them.

7. If you have hospital beds, used wheelchairs,
walkers and scooters you can donate them to
veterans organizations that will in turn give
them to veterans that need them.
The Disabled American Program (DAV) in
Minnesota has developed a program known
as Donor Connect which helps in connecting
people that have used medical equipment
with veterans that need those items.

8. These medical equipment help the veterans
that were injured at war to function more
independently and live on their own.
Some organizations like Veterans Inc. allow
you to make donations through endowments.
Just like any good investment, the value of
the endowment will increase over time.
www.GreenCollarVets.org
9. This means that the fund you donated will
grow at the same pace with the inflation rate
or even exceed the inflation as long as you
do not make any further contributions.
So you will not only be making a donation,
but you will also be preserving your capital
and allowing the money you contributed to
grow as time goes by.

10. Other donation mechanisms are via eBay if
you are an eBay user and also through
Combined Federal Campaign.
For eBay donations, a percentage of the sales
you make is donated to veterans organization.
