What are the benefits for becoming donor? All donors have the ability to receive email updates from program participants and scholarships awardees. Veteran Central has four different donor levels. The bronze levels starts at $25 and goes up to $499. This donor level is a starter level and enables our staff and volunteers to interact with donor group to educate them on Veteran issues in America and how to get them more involved over time. We provide a commemorative coffee mug, monthly eNewsletter, private discussion forums, and online donation management tools. The silver donor level starts at $500 and goes up to $4,999. This donor level receives a special online memorial of their own family name recognizing their gift in addition to the opportunity to showcase a Veteran hero as a virtual memorial on the Veteran Central platform. Example below:
The gold level and platinum level donors receive special customized solutions that can be integrated to help digital marketing campaigns and programs and scholarships can be named in these donor’s honor. These donors enable us to move mountains and we work with them to truly show our respect and gratitude for their gifts of $5,000 or more.
When do I get my coffee mug? If you donate $25 or more, you will get a welcome to the Veteran Central donation club gift bag which includes a commemorative Veteran Central design coffee mug. We plan to have a new mug every year and the coffee mug represents our relentless quest to support Veteran communities day or night. As soon as you donate $25, our staff will receive a message and we will have one of our volunteers put together a welcome package. This could take anywhere from one week to six weeks but we hope to have this process down to a few days. Thank you for your patience ahead of time. Our vision is to blanket America with Veteran Central coffee mugs within organizations that serve Veterans in a positive way. Our goal is to pass out 5,000 coffee mugs by the end of 2013.
