Consider giving to VIA

VIA continues to provide transformative experiences to our volunteers and participants, and ongoing support to our partner organizations. As always, your support is vital to providing these meaningful experiences to more people. Please consider giving in any amount to VIA's annual Friends of VIA Campaign.

Corporate Match 

Many companies have programs through which they will "match" the charitable contributions made by their employees. Check with your company's Human Resources office to see if they offer gift matching. (If they do not, consider asking your company to start a program.)  If your employer does offer this program, your Human Resources department should provide you with a matching gift form.  Mail the form with your donation (or with your name, date and amount of your donation if you donated on-line) to:

VIA
