fund in the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong><br />

Support a brighter future with a planned gift<br />
A growing number <strong>of</strong> individuals and households have<br />
remembered VAI in their estate plans. These planned giving<br />
intentions will greatly benefit the Institute’s research into<br />
diseases like cancer, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s and related<br />
dementias, as well as our work to educate the next generation<br />
<strong>of</strong> scientific leaders and foster curiosity, creativity and<br />
critical thinking in K–12 classrooms.<br />
VAI honors those who have included the Institute in their<br />
estate plans through the Jay and Betty Van Andel Circle <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Hope</strong>. When you notify us <strong>of</strong> your intentions, you are invited<br />
to become a member.<br />
We welcome a conversation about estate giving that makes<br />
the most sense for you while also supporting the mission<br />
<strong>of</strong> VAI.<br />

Director, at 616.<strong>23</strong>4.5515 or kate.frillmann@vai.org.<br />
