Making a Gift in Memory

Donating to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) in memory of a family member or friend that has passed away is a meaningful way to honor them. You can make a significant in memory contribution to the Memorial Fund in the following ways:

  • Next of kin, family and friends can request donations in memory at a funeral service
  • Create an online memorial or tribute page to share memories about their loved one  
  • Make a regular or one-off memorial gift to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund themselves;

Donation Requests:  

Requesting donations or donations in lieu of flowers at the funeral service of your loved one allows family, friends and guests to give a meaningful gift.  

An effective way of letting your guests know of your wishes prior to the service is to include the following words in the funeral notice:

“In lieu of flowers, donations in memory can be made to the:  

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, 2600 Virginia Ave NW, Suite 104, Washington DC  20037"

We will send a tax deductible receipt to every person who makes a donation in memory at the funeral service, and we will send you, or the nominated next of kin, a summary of everyone that has made a donation in memory.  

Your funeral director can arrange to have VVMF donation envelopes at the service, or please feel free to place an online request with us directly.
