About the Trust
A community that keeps its promises.
The NVT Bereavement Trust Fund pools modest, regular contributions from members across our chapters into a shared trust, governed by an elected Board of Trustees and administered under our published bylaws.
Mission
Provide dignified, timely financial support to NVT families in bereavement, funded by members for members.
Vision
That no NVT family should bear the cost of loss alone — supported by a community that pledges to stand with them.
Solidarity
A promise kept between neighbours: small monthly gifts pooled into meaningful support when it matters most.
Stewardship
Every contribution ledgered. Every payout approved. Every quarter audited and reported.
How It Works
From contribution to comfort — a clear, accountable path.

The NVT Bereavement Trust is a mutual aid fund, not insurance. Claims are paid from pooled reserves subject to the trust bylaws.
Permission-based access
Chapter Presidents see only their chapter's members. Trustees and independent auditors have trust-wide, read-appropriate visibility.
Privacy protection
No chapter can see another chapter's members, claims or confidential records. All access is scoped, logged and reviewable.
Claims Process
A quiet, respectful process for the hardest moment.
When a family notifies us of a loss, they should feel supported — not audited. Our claims process is structured, dignified, and completes in days, not months.
