Have a vehicle you no longer use or that no longer runs? Want to clear some space in your garage or driveway? You can donate a variety of vehicles to benefit VPM — cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, boats and more! It’s a simple process
Giving Through a DAF (Donor-Advised Fund)
DAFs give you flexibility with your charitable giving decisions by allowing you to separate your tax deduction timing from grant distribution. When you make a donation to a DAF, you are generally eligible for an immediate tax deduction. You can then recommend grants to IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) public charities during time periods that make the most sense for you. To recommend a gift from your DAF, alert your fund holder that our legal name is VPM Media Corporation (VPM) and our Federal Tax ID# (EIN) is 54-0735782. Please ensure that your plan administrator includes your full name and contact information on accompanying documentation so we can thank you properly and attribute your gift to your account.
IRA/Required Minimum Distribution
The IRA Charitable Rollover permits individuals aged 72 (73 if you reach age 72 after 12/31/22) or older to make distributions of up to $100,000 from a traditional Individual Retirement Account or ROTH IRA directly to charitable organizations like VPM. Your plan administrator will need the following information to complete the donation:
- Legal name: VPM Media Corporation (VPM)
- Federal Tax ID# (EIN): 54-0735782
- Mailing address: VPM (Attn: Development), 15 E. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23219
- Please ensure that your plan administrator includes your full name and contact information on accompanying documentation so we can thank you properly and attribute your gift to your account.
Gift of Stock or Property
Donating securities that have been held for a year or more can offer the potential for a double tax benefit — a full fair market value tax deduction and elimination of capital gains taxes. Please let us know of your pending gift of appreciated stock so we can appropriately credit your gift once it arrives. Your broker will need the following information to complete the donation:
- Federal Tax ID# (EIN): 54-0735782
- Firm: Davenport & Co.
- Contact: Roynette McDonald-Vandi 804-780-2031
- Account Number: DA4001628
- DTC Number: 0443
- Please ensure that your plan administrator includes your full name and contact information on accompanying documentation so we can thank you properly and attribute your gift to your account.
Whatever your stage in life, it is a good idea to think about and plan for how your affairs will be handled. An estate plan can help you ensure that you and your loved ones are well protected. It can also be used to leave a legacy by supporting the charitable causes and organizations that matter most to you, like VPM.

Matching Gifts
Some companies double or even triple their employees’ contributions to VPM — or even donations made by employee spouses, surviving spouses, outside directors, and retired employees. Contact your HR department for details about their matching gift program, eligibility requirements and how to obtain a matching gift form. Fill out the employee portion of your company’s form and send to: 15 E. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23219.
Day Sponsorship
With a donation of $365 or more, you can honor a friend, colleague, loved one or special occasion on any day of your choice (pending availability) with a special radio message that will air six times over the course of the day. Day sponsorships are available for VPM News and VPM Music.
If you are unable give right now, you can still support VPM by joining our community conversations on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, by subscribing to the VPM Weekly Update and/or the VPM Morning Monitor, watching VPM channels and listening to VPM News and VPM Music.
