Creating a will is one of the most meaningful ways to protect the people and causes you care about. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can create a legally valid will at no cost in about 20 minutes.
Whether you’re planning for the future or updating an existing estate plan, having a will ensures your wishes are clearly documented. You can also choose to include a gift to Ronald McDonald House Southwest Virginia, helping provide comfort, hope, and a home-away-from-home for families for generations to come.
There is no obligation to include Ronald McDonald House Southwest Virginia in your plans—we’re simply grateful to offer this free resource to our community.
Stock or securities gifts go toward the same great cause, our children and families, but carry extra benefits not associated with gifts made by check, cash, or credit card. You avoid capital gains tax, receive credit for the full fair market value of the shares (even though the cost to you is the original purchase price), and your charitable deduction is based on the full fair market value of the shares on the date the gift is made.
If you’re 70 ½ or older, then making a gift from your IRA may be the most beneficial way to support our mission. Called an IRA Charitable Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), this way to give allows you to make a significant difference for our families while also saving on taxes.
Also, if you have a required minimum distribution (RMD), then your gift could satisfy that requirement. Use our tool below or contact your account custodian to request the direct transfer using the following information:
Legal Name: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Virginia

Support families in a modern way by donating cryptocurrency. A gift of appreciated digital assets—such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies—may allow you to maximize your charitable impact while potentially reducing capital gains taxes.
Your cryptocurrency donation helps provide a home-away-from-home for families with seriously ill or injured children receiving medical care in Southwest Virginia.
We recommend consulting your financial or tax advisor to determine how a cryptocurrency donation fits into your charitable giving plans.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows individuals, families, and organizations to make tax-deductible contributions and recommend grants to qualified nonprofits over time. Often described as a charitable savings account, a DAF gives you the flexibility to support the causes you care about—when and how you choose.
You can recommend a one-time or recurring grant to Ronald McDonald House Southwest Virginia, helping provide families with a place to stay, warm meals, and a supportive community while their child receives medical care. Donor-advised funds are commonly established through organizations such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and Vanguard Charitable.
Whether you choose to make an immediate gift or use your fund to support families for years to come, your generosity makes a lasting impact.
