Welcome to The Voice of the Martyrs Strategic Partner Services
Planned Giving
Thank you for your interest in The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM). Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends at VOM who now are benefiting from the VOM gift annuity program.

Annuities are a wonderful way to support the persecuted church while receiving a current (or deferred) income. You can donate cash or stock and fund a gift annuity. In return you will receive a fixed income payment over your lifetime. After your life ends, the remaining funds will be donated to help the persecuted church.

Benefits of the VOM Gift Annuity Program:
1. A current income tax deduction
2. Higher payment rates than most CD's, which means higher income for life
3. A portion of your income tax-free
4. An immediate donation to support the persecuted church
5. Available deferment periods to increase both future income and current income-tax deductions
6. A future gift to further the cause of the persecuted church

Benefits for Family and The Voice of the Martyrs

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. Just click on the picture and you can view each story. These stories are not actual VOM donors and are for illustrative purposes only.

Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.

Generous IRA Gift
Jerry is a fireman who volunteers for a number of charities in his community. Recently, the favorite charity shared an opportunity to join in a new program with a positive impact. Jerry was excited to help, but a lead gift of $10,000 was needed to start the program. More on Generous IRA Gift >>.

Current Gifts
As is the case with many families, there are times each year when Jim and Sharon focus their attention on gift giving. For years, they have created a gift list that includes family members, friends and loved ones. More on Current Gifts >>.

A Bequest to Further Good Work
Nancy and David Atkins were dedicated volunteers. Over the years, they had seen many individuals impacted by the good work of our organization. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future support to continue our mission. More on A Bequest to Further Good Work >>.
