Donations & Privacy Policy

The Gateway Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America is not affiliated with the Veterans Administration. THE GATEWAY CHAPTER OF THE PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING. We depend upon the generosity of the general public to help our paralyzed veterans live their lives as normal as feasibly possible. All donations are used to continue the many programs in place at the chapter unless it is designated otherwise. If you would like to make a donation to our chapter, we accept Mastercard, Visa and American Express. If you would like to pay by check, please send it as follows:

Attention: Executive Director
Gateway PVA
9738 Lackland Road
St. Louis, MO 63114

Please make checks payable to "Gateway PVA" or abbreviate to "GPVA" and as a safety precaution, write "deposit only" on the back of your check before mailing.

Or, new for this year, you may use PayPal to make a secure donation to our organization just by clicking the link below.

The Gateway Chapter PVA is a 501(c)(3), non-profit veterans organization. This means your donation should be tax-deductible. Our FEIN# is 51-0217506. Upon receiving your donation, we will send you a receipt for tax purposes.

Our chapter would like to gratefully acknowledge Daimler Chrysler for their generous grant of $4,000 in 2005 designated to two of our most important programs: Patient Services & Sports. We also would like to thank Fru-Con Foundation for their generous donation of $5,000 in 2006. And, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) for their very generous support for 2006-2008. Thank you so very much to all of our supporters for helping us to achieve our mission!

Planned Giving:

In addition to being one of the simplest ways to distribute your estate, your estate planning documents such as wills and trusts can also be a creative vehicle through which to make thoughtful gifts that may reduce your estate tax and other taxes.

After providing for the needs of your loved ones, you may choose one of several ways to benefit the Gateway Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, a charitable organization you may have enjoyed supporting.

By having your attorney revise your trust agreement, or other estate planning instrument, provide for Gateway PVA with provisions of a certain dollar amount, specific property, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after your loved ones have been taken care of. You may also wish to name us as your charitable recipients in case your heirs do not survive you.

Contact our office for more information on planned giving.
