Becoming a sponsor each year is another great way for you to support us. By becoming a sponsor you help provide financial and other support, boosting our fundraising efforts and allowing us to achieve our mission. In return, sponsors receive benefits like increased brand visibility, community engagement, and access to a network of potential customers or clients. We have different sponsor levels to help with different budgets and goals.

​

Planned Giving

Estate and legacy gifts honor our founders and our KVF mission, by providing future security for KVF.  There are many avenues available when considering a contribution of this kind, with the most common way being to designate Kansas Veterans Festival as a beneficiary in a retirement plan, IRA, or life insurance policy.  Both have advantages for you and for KVF.  Other ways to make a lasting gift are outlined below:

​

Your Will

It is not only rich or elderly people who need a will.  A will protects your family and may help ease the probate process.  A bequest in your will means you may be able to give far more than you ever imagined.  Bequests can be made as a fixed amount or percentage of your estate, as property like securities or land, or as the remainder of your estate after all specific designations have been fulfilled.

​

When preparing your will, the following wording is suggested:

“I give to Kansas Veterans Festival, Inc - PO Box 66, El Dorado, KS 67042-0066 - the sum of $ XX, or XX% of my estate, or the remainder of my estate after expenses and the disposition of bequests, to be used for such purposes as the Board of Directors of said organization determines.”

​

Beneficiary Designation

Purchasing a life insurance policy which designates KVF as a beneficiary is an economical way to make a substantial legacy gift.  The premiums can be fully tax deductible.  Life insurance is separate from your will and does not affect the distribution of your other assets.  It is confidential and flexible.  You can also choose to make KVF a beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan. 

​

Did you know that you can fulfill your required minimum distribution (RMD) completely tax-free while also helping us at the Kansas Veterans Festival? When you make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from an IRA directly to the Kansas Veterans Festival. When a QCD is taken to fulfill the RMD, that distribution is excluded from income, which then lowers your adjusted gross income. A win/win for you and KVF!

​

Thank you for your generosity!
