WHAT
ARE SOME GOOD REASONS FOR GIVING TO THE FOUNDATION?
1.The community
where a man has lived and prospered has a claim on a reasonable part
of his substance. Without sound community life, there can be little
real wealth for anyone
2. A gift
produces perpetual benefits, long after the giver is gone.
Within ten years a gift will pay out more than the original sum.
3. A gift
shows concern and responsibility. Money carelessly given can
become wasted. But a gift to the Foundation works with no time limit
in sight.
4. A gift
unites people. There are no distinctions based on the amount of
the gift. All are united by a common bond of generosity and concern.
5. A gift
will yield benefits for the child of tomorrow.
6. A memorial
fund of $5,000.00 or more, given by a person or group, can
be designated to a particular objective. Several such memorial funds
are row active in the Foundation.
ARE DONATIONS TAX
DEDUCTIBLE?

also refer you to a qualified advisor. Proper handling can yield maximum
tax benefits.
