Planned Giving
Create a Lasting Legacy
Including DVRC in your will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or other estate plan can help ensure that survivors have access to safety and support for generations to come. The 1978 Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have informed DVRC of a planned gift.

- Beneficiary designation on a retirement account or life insurance policy
- Charitable trust or other planned arrangement
- Gift of real estate or other appreciated property, subject to DVRC review and acceptance
Please consult your attorney, financial advisor, or tax professional. DVRC does not provide legal or tax advice. If you have included DVRC in your plans, contact us at 401-782-3995 or info@dvrcsc.org so we may thank you and, if you wish, welcome you to the 1978 Legacy Society.
Fundraise
Engage Your Community
Host a Community or Third-Party Fundraiser
Turn a gathering, business promotion, workplace activity, or personal milestone into support for survivors. Ideas include restaurant give-back nights, percentage-of-sales promotions, fitness or wellness events, trivia or paint nights, school or workplace challenges, and birthday fundraisers. Submit the Third-Party Fundraiser Proposal before publicizing your event so DVRC can review the use of its name and logo and discuss available support.
Start a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser
Invite friends, family, coworkers, or teammates to support DVRC through a personal fundraising page or campaign. Use the Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser Planner to define your story, goal, timeline, and outreach plan. Contact DVRC before launch for the approved fundraising platform, campaign link, messaging, and graphics.
Sponsorship
Adopt a Room
Sponsor a space where safety and healing begin. Businesses, organizations, families, and individuals may associate their support with a DVRC space while their investment supports DVRC’s full mission and free services. Opportunities include the New Beginnings and Safe Havens bedrooms, Communal Space / Family Room, Court Advocacy Office, Drop-In Center, and Support Group Room.
Sponsors receive recognition on a room plaque, social media, and in DVRC newsletters. Contact Crystle Welch at cwelch@dvrcsc.org or 401-782-3992, ext. 222.
