In Memoriam

Honor your
loved ones.

Celebrate the memory and life of a loved one through CFVI’s memorial funds. The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands honors the memories of loved ones by enriching the lives of Virgin Islanders beyond their passing.

What is a memorial gift? 

A memorial gift is a donation made to honor the memory of someone who has passed away. It allows
friends, family, and supporters to commemorate the life of the deceased while contributing to a cause
or organization that was meaningful to them.  

How to establish a Memorial Gift

1

Contact CFVI and let us know of your desire to have your loved one honored with a gift in their memory. Our staff is available and flexible to support you. Please reach out by email at general.info@cfvi.net or by phone at 340-774-6031 for assistance or inquiries.

2

Once the first donation is received, your loved one will be added to the list on the Memorial Page of our website and will remain there in perpetuity.

 

 

3

CFVI will work with the family/representatives on setting up a unique donation link and information and request a representative (or representatives) who will serve as the liaison(s) to CFVI;

4

CFVI will acknowledge each donation as it is received and notify you so that you may also thank the donor in your own way. (All memorial gifts are tax deductible);

5

After a year has passed, CFVI will reach out to your representative for guidance on the disbursement to the community of donations received;

6

If your intention is to set up a Named Fund with a minimum gift of $10,000, CFVI staff is available to discuss the process for setting up a fund agreement.

Friends and family of your loved one will want to know how they can make memorial donations.
The best way to share this information is in your loved one’s obituary.
