Defined Contribution LOSAP

A defined contribution LOSAP permits the sponsoring organization to establish a predefined contribution that it will make each year to the volunteer’s LOSAP account. The funds in the volunteer’s account grow until retirement age when the account is paid to the volunteer in a lump sum.

Defined contribution LOSAP typically provides three benefits:

  • Pre-entitlement death benefit.

  • Volunteers - Establishing a LOSAP offers rewards to volunteers for community service and encourages volunteer retention.

  • On average, an annual contribution of $500 per active volunteer provides an attractive program.
