About the Society of Hope
The Society of Hope recognizes individuals and couples who have notified us that they have included Van Andel Institute (VAI) in their will or other deferred giving plan. Through our acknowledgement and gratitude of these exceptional people, we hope that their generosity will inspire others. Their support leaves a lasting legacy to improve human health for generations to come.
