                                Thanks to YOU, Southern Rhode Island Volunteers has played a significant role in the community by providing services and meals to housebound seniors and by providing volunteer opportunities to enrich our lives and the lives of others.  Helping others is a key part of what makes SRIV unique and special.  Our organization is made up of dedicated members of the community, volunteering their time and energy to make our community a better place.

                                            You can play a part in ensuring that SRIV will be here for another generation by making a planned gift.  A planned gift can be part of your tax planning, a life insurance gift or part of your will.  Planned Giving benefits you, the donor, and it helps SRIV continue the services it has been providing to our community for 30 years.  With your help, we’ll be providing volunteers and services to our community for another 30 years … and more!

                                            There are many different types of planned gifts, with different features and tax benefits.  Please note that this information is not intended to be legal or tax advice, but a general overview of the ways you can help SRIV provide vital services to our community.  At the bottom of the page you will find links to the IRS website for more information on the tax benefits of planned giving.  Please consult your attorney or tax advisor for more information.
