The Colonel Ruby Linn Endowment Fund was created in 2016 thanks to the generous support of the Ruby W. and Lavon P. Linn Foundation.
Gifts to the endowment are held in perpetuity, and proceeds help ensure that Veterans Legal Services will continue to meet the critical needs of Massachusetts veterans for many years to come. Click here to donate to the endowment.
Planned or deferred giving is a commitment made now to make a gift to a charitable organization in the future, either during your lifetime or through your will. The gift may be conveyed through bequests, gift annuities, and charitable trusts of various kinds. The assets conveyed to the charity are often in forms other than cash: stocks and bonds, marketable real estate, life insurance policies, retirement funds and the like.
It is highly recommended that you work closely with a financial planner to create an estate plan that meets your future intentions and current needs. To further discuss, please contact VLS.
Each year, VLS hosts an annual event to help raise funds to continue and grow our programs and services.
On July 16, 2024, we had the extraordinary pleasure of hearing from Doris Kearns Goodwin and her son, VLS board member Joe Goodwin, about their remarkable experiences as a family as they navigated through school, politics, the military, and beyond. We are so grateful to Doris and Joe for sharing a glimpse into their personal lives. Special thanks to Jackie Fearer for moderating and engaging Doris and Joe in such meaningful conversation.​ Be sure to check out the event page to learn more and view the event photo gallery.
