The names of donors who have helped build the Endowment Fund will be listed in the Annual Reports of the Foundation.
Some people may wish to donate anonymously. We will respect their requests.
Those donors who have made contributions to create a Named Fund will be acknowledged individually in the year the contribution is received and the contribution will be acknowledged in the Annual Reports if the Foundation every year in perpetuity. In situations where additional funds are contributed to an existing fund, the additional funding and the new total will be noted in the various publications. Because the Foundation does provide for numerous ways for contributions to be made, we are open to considering various alternatives for recognition, which may be of interest to the donor.
If the donor agrees, contributions to the Endowment Fund may be publicized from time to time in the local media. This publicity is beneficial to the Foundation.
As a non-political, non-government organization, the Foundation is the only funding agency that addresses all areas of the charitable sector.

The Foundation offers maximum flexibility in terms of assets that can be used to create a fund, options for the use of donors’ gifts, and benefits to donors.
