Jay and Betty Van Andel Circle of Hope

Donors make a difference by impacting the work and mission of Van Andel Institute with their support.

Van Andel Institute represents a family legacy. It was started by Jay and Betty Van Andel and now is carried forward by David and Carol Van Andel.

We deeply appreciate generous individuals who choose to join this family legacy by making a planned gift to Van Andel Institute. Thanks to your gifts, our work will continue as we seek to find cures and extend hope to people with disease and their families. Your gift will also help educate the next generation of scientific leaders and foster curiosity and creativity in our youth.

We honor donors who make a planned gift by welcoming them into the Jay and Betty Van Andel Circle of Hope. When you notify us of your intentions, you will become a member. We honor our Circle of Hope members in many ways:

  • Two tickets to annual donor recognition dinner
  • Invitations to exclusive events that bring you closer to our scientists and latest research
  • Name recognition (if desired) in Van Andel Institute's Annual Report and Hope on the Hill Gala program
  • Name(s) added to the Jay and Betty Van Andel Circle of Hope wall, located on the main floor of Van Andel Institute
