A gift from you reflects your commitment to the timeless traditions and values that Valley Forge instills in fine young men on a daily basis, which helps them to grow into tomorrow's successful leaders ---- Courage, Honor, Conquer.

Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a program initiated to offset the costs associated with the efficient operation of activities at VFMA&C. We seek annual fund support from our alumni base, parents, friends of the school, foundations, corporations and others. Fundraising is secured through grants, gifts, mail solicitations, cadet phone-a-thons, and other appeals. It is essential for VFMA&C to raise in excess of $1.25 million each year to meet necessary operating costs.

Gift-in-Kind
A Gift-in-Kind represents a product or service provided to the Forge in order to offset allocated budgeted lines. VFMA&C has benefited from the generosity of alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, faculty/staff, and companies that have contributed such items as cameras, cleaning supplies, musical equipment and computers, as well as services such as carpentry, use of  their horses and printing.

Matching Gifts
You can multiply your support to Valley Forge by making use of your employer's matching gift program. Sometimes a gift to the Forge can be doubled or even tripled when utilizing a matching gift program. Inquire at your employer's human resources department to find if your company participates.

Planned Giving
One of the most effective means of giving to the Forge is through a planned gift. Planned Giving is the utilization of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, life insurance, trusts and bequests that will assist in furthering the mission of VFMA&C. The planned gift benefits you by reducing estate taxes, decreasing the burden of capital gains, and allowing for income tax deductions.

Endowment Funds
Endowment funds at Valley Forge provide for continuous support or maintenance of the school.  One such fund recently established is the Stanley Harris Endowment Fund, launched by VF Alumnus Jeffrey Winans '66.  Stanley Harris was a tactical officer at The Forge whose leadership, guidance and compassion was revered by all cadets who knew him.
